Killed a maniac with TPTK

This was a sweet hand. I was dealt AKo, raised 5BB early-middle position, and was raised by a maniac zenzato (VP$IP 62 AF 3.19) 9.5BB, which I called. Judging by the raise, I put him on a face card with at least a half-decent kicker, or pocket pair.

The flop comes (4d, Kh, 4h), and I hit KK with top kicker. 

zenzato raises 30BB. I put him on a KK pair, but with my Ace kicker I feel confident I have him beat. I suspect he didn't hit a set or quad of 4s as raising 9.5BB with an A4, K4 or Q4 would be extremely bold, and quad 4 was just unlikely.

I raise 60BB, which he calls.

Turn is 2h, making a possible backdoor flush draw for zenzato. To be honest I didn't pay attention to this until someone pointed it out to me when reviewing the hand history. But even so I still had odds.

zenzato raises 60BB. This smelt more like a desperation bet... if I was in his position and someone called my pushes both pre-flop and on the flop, I'd be very cautious. He was probably banking on hitting his flush on the river, which would've been an uneconomic move, IMO.

I raise all-in. zenzato calls.

River comes in with Kc, giving me a full house.

Pot is won.
