The more I think about this hand and the player in question, the less I buy Gigabet's assertion that the only hands she will pay off with here are KK or 6 or turned fullhouse.
I'm in agreement with pretty much everything shaniac said, except the notion that she may have been setting up this play. I find that hard to believe, but not impossible.

I don't think Gigabet presented it accurately. There was no way AA or AK was folding, but 99-JJ or AQ probably would fold.
It seems like he misread the betting pattern on the hand and the relation to the board and her likely reraising hands. Also his opponent probably did a good job of convincing him she did not have a strong hand and was weaktight in general. However, making a play like this against a tight opponent will frequently work.
