Gardenhire Gets a Double

We missed the exact preflop action, but we know that a player in early position came in for a raise, and that Justin Gardenhire three bet from the big blind. His opponent called, and the flop came down {4-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Gardenhire checked, and his opponent fired out a bet of 8,000. Gardenhire announced himself all in for 30,100, and his opponent immediately called.

Gardenhire: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

As soon as his opponent called, Gardenhire said "that can't be good", fearing that he had aces, and while it wasn't that bad, he was still only had a 52% chance of holding. The {5-Hearts} on the turn was a safe card for him, but it did put chop outs for a straight on board. The {6-Hearts} on the river didn't complete any of that, and Gardenhire secured the double up to over 70,000.
