Top Pair's Not the Nuts?

The preflop action was limped by one player before Chino Rheem made it 525 to go. Only that player called to take a flop of {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {4-Spades}. Action checked to Rheem. He bet 1,000, then moved all in for 4,250 after his opponent check-raised to 2,000. Rheem's opponent called with {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs}, top pair of queens. Rheem showed two pair, {Q-Spades} {9-Diamonds}, and saw his hand hold when the turn and river bricked. He's up to 10,000 chips, although he has burned both rebuy chips already.
