Interesting Hand: Suited Connectors

This is an interesting hand that I had on the SCOOP event 20. I am posting this hand to show the huge mistake that opponent makes by giving free cards until the River, were I make my straight, he slow plays his monster hand and get "self-killed" on the River.

This is how the hand was played:
