Who Played This Right?

Here's the scenario. 40k guaranteed tonight on party. I'm an hour in to the tourney and the average stack is 1800. I have 2800 and I get pocket tens under the gun. The blinds are 25/50. I bet 125. The button and the big blind call. The flop is ( J,10,3) rainbow. I bet 500 and the button raises for more than I have. I call. He has KQ and hits a 9 on the turn to put me out. Here's the question. Did I play this wrong? Should I avoid this hand altogether? He had tons of chips so I like his play on the flop. I like my chances of doubling.
I'm playing the shootout on Party. GaryC is in also. I'll post again if one of us takes it to the house!! Good luck G.
