Can someone explain this clip/poker hand to me?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MFAJOtnFM...
In the clip the opponent has two 6's (diamond and club), Daniel Negreanu has a Queen of hearts and a 10 of spade.
The board is a 6 of hearts, 10 of diamonds, 4 of diamonds, 10 of clubs, Queen of spades.
In the clip, Daniel seems to not be sure he has won until the queen lands for the final card on the board, but I was curous why he wouldn't simply win with the three 10's versus the three 6's..? Let's say the final card was a 2 of hearts, wouldn't Daniel still win with a queen and 10 in hand and two 10's on the board, since the opponents hand would've still only been three 6's.
Anyone who could analyze or explain the clip and the logic here, thank you. New to poker and starting to figure out most of it but this interaction confused me, as he seemed only truly excited once the final queen landed in this clip. Link is above.

The 66 has a full house when the T pairs and Daniel only has a three of a kind. Daniel has to hit either one of his other cards to make a full house, a 4 to make his T a higher full house than the 66 or another T to make his hand a 4 of a kind.
Thank you I totally forgot about that win condition. Just got into poker more and understanding hands. Tysm
