Buldygin Rivers a Straight

Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Viacheslav Buldygin in the small blind limped and saw Alexander Ivarsson in the big blind raise to 800. Buldygin took an unusual line by raising again to 2,800. Ivarsson made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of 5♦4♠K♦ where Buldygin bet 1,700. He was called, but checked the 6♥ turn. Ivarsson took this opportunity to bet 5,000, but Buldygin didn't back down and called.
After Buldygin checked the 7♦ river, Ivarsson checked back, only to see that Buldygin hit a straight on the river with 8♣8♥.
