Well, he had a flush draw, and after you posted your 6900 bet, the pot was 15650

He has to bet 6900 to get 15650, which is 2.2 to 1.
Hitting a flush draw is 9 outs, with perhaps some implied hope of more on future streets if he hits. Hitting a flush draw from Flop to River is 2:1 approx, so he had OK odds to make that bet (I look for 4:1 myself, but I'm a nit)

He doesn't hit then
However, after you bet 8715 after the turn, the pot stood at 31265
So he needs to bet 8715 to get 31265
that is 3.58 and odds for 9 outs Turn to River is 4.1 to one.
So he is shooting a little shy of pot odds, but he already had a huge chunk of his stack invested, so in and lose or fold, and his day is done, so might as well go for the gusto.

How had he been playing to that point? Did you expect him to fold?
What hand range did you reckon he had?

So from his point of view it may have been sensible.

If you had offered him much worse odds after the flop would he have called?
Can't tell now.

What hand range did you reckon he had?

He'd been calling the big blind almost every hand for the last 7 or 8 pre-flop. Betting after the flop in an attempt to steal in my view. Playing ver loose.

This meant is was very difficult to put him on a hand range, proved by the fact that he called a decent raise pre-flop with only 10d-5d.

I understand your pot value odds - but he was still betting a consioderable amount of his stack size on a draw.

You played it absolutely the right way.
Good raise preflop, bet the flop when you hit, push the turn. No weak play or slow play.

You get in it on the turn as a 84% favorite! That`s great.
The rest is luck and has nothing to do with right or wrong play.

That`s the reason why you should post hands without results.
