On the flip side of this you could argue that villain would be crazy to check the river holding a straight as he'd miss out on a bet if you check

Agree. I think it was a really bad river check on his part since I would most likely have called a medium sized bet.

He seemed like the kind who loves to make fancy plays and I also believe I had an aggressive table image. The first hand of the tournament I played a similar hand where I bet every street in position and ended up all-in on the river. That time I had the goods but I knew everyone at the table would remember that hand so he might have been hoping for me to repeat that scenario.
