Money In Midnight Madness

Finished 92nd in the 1,839-man field in Full Tilt's $10+1 Midnight Madness MTT. I was all set to go real deep, sitting at a comfortable 15 blinds with a good feel for my table, when this monstrosity of a hand happened:

600/1200 Ante 150
Seat 1: J_HasTheNuts (17 614)
Seat 9: Hero (19 331)
-- clip antes
Hero posts the small blind of 600
J_HasTheNuts posts the big blind of 1,200
The button is in seat #8

Holecards:
Dealt to Hero [ ]
-- folds around to me in sb
Hero raises to 4,800
J_HasTheNuts calls 3,600

Flop:
[ ]
Hero has 15 seconds left to act
Hero bets 6 000
J_HasTheNuts raises to 12 664 and is all in
Hero calls 6 664
J_HasTheNuts shows [ ]
Hero shows [ ]

Turn :
[ ] [ ]

River:
[ ] [ ]
J_HasTheNuts shows a straight Nine high
Hero shows three of a kind Fives
J_HasTheNuts wins the pot (36 128) with a straight Nine high

I'm 65% to win this on the flop, and I gave him pot odds just short of that with my flop bet. I need to shove in that spot next time.
