HITTING TRIPS KNOCKED ME OUT

I WAS IN A TOURNEY LAST NITE ON POKER4EVER. IT WAS DOWN TO THE FINAL TABLE WITH TWO OF US LEFT. MY OPPONENT JUST ABOUT COVERED ME IN CHIPS. ANYWAY MY OPPONENT IS SB AND GETS DEALT 10 5 OS, WHILE I GET DEALT POCKETS 8'S BB. THE SB RAISES HALF HIS STACK, SO I RE-RAISED ALL-IN AND HE/SHE CALLED.

THE FLOP COMES DOWN (7 6 9), NO FLUSH DRAW. THE TURN COMES (K). EVERYTHING IS FINE UP TO NOW. THE RIVER COMES (, I HAVE HIT 3 OF A KIND AND MY OPPONENT HAS HIT A LUCKY STRAIGHT KNOCKING ME OUT INTO 2ND PLACE. HE WAS A RIGHT DONKEY.
