Hinkle Runs into a Set

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We caught up with Blair Hinkle in a hand where he had position on an opponent on a board of {7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Hinkle's opponent check-called a bet, and the players saw the {j-Clubs} fall on the river. Hinkle's opponent again checked, and Hinkle began thinking. After about 90 seconds, he bet 13,000, about half of his opponent's remaining chips. The player though briefly before calling.

Hinkle: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

"You nearly gave me a heart attack," the player said as he scooped the pot with his set.
