Ouch - what can ya do. You played it about as well as you could. The guy happened to get trips on the flop like you and you couldn't shake him.
I'm surprised that so many called pre-flop raise but once 1 person calls, all it takes is for another to call and then the pot is sweet for all.
Even if this would have been NoLimit, it probably would have ended the same way. A pocket pair is all the reason for anyone to call a big pre-flop raise. Not much you could do. That's just one example of how pocket ace's lose about 12%-15% of the time.
