Hollink Hits the Straight

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

We missed the action preflop, but on a flop of {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, James Akenhead checked to a player who bet 3,500. Rob Hollink made the call and Akenhead got out of the way. The {9-Hearts} hit the turn and Hollink's opponent bet 8,000 this time. Hollink raised his opponent all in, making it 12,000 total and she made the call.

Hollink: {k-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The {8-Clubs} fell on the river, and the dealer began to push the chips toward Hollink's opponent, thinking her set of fours was good. It was quickly realized, however, that Hollink's ten-six made a straight and he was the winner of the pot. He's now sitting around 60,000 in chips.
