Busted a sucker Ivey-style (I hate when someone does this to me)

When I have a big stack sometimes I'll play gutfeeling or pretty-looking hands. Yesterday about 1 hour into a buyin trny at Hollywood I am bigstack at the table. Decide to try and steal with my 6d 8d on the button. Put in a minimum raise. Both blinds fold. Under the gun calls (he called to start with).

I've watched him do this with Ax a couple of times earlier.

Naturally I flop the nut straight - 4 5 7 rainbow.

Hoping his kicker paired I make a smallish bet - he calls. Yess - he paired.

Turn: 2h - I bet out again - a bit bigger this time. He still calls.

River:: Ac - Thank you kindly. This means that whatever he held he'll go all in. I raise him half the pot. Hi moves in. With his two pair (A 7?).

Bye bye. Thanks for the chips. See ya.

edited the flop and his hand here...I got confused what he had...only thing I know is I had the nuts all the way
