Timinator Needs Your Chips and Your Motorcycle

Ok, no actual motorcycles were in any way involved, but Tim "The Timinator" Blake, who final-tabled the Irish Open a couple years back, is up to 7,500 after flopping a monster and avoiding redraws to a bigger monster from his opponent.

Mr. Opponent seems to have min-raised preflop and Blake called to see an {8-Hearts} {10-Spades} {10-Hearts} flop. Blake check-called on the flop, and then checked again on the {5-?} turn -- but this time when Mr. Opponent bet 700, Blake made it 2,100 to go. Eventually Mr. Opponent laid it down, leaving himself with 2,200 in chips.

Blake showed him {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} in the hole for a flopped full house. Mr. Opponent revealed that he had been holding {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for a straight flush draw.
