A Gift That Almost Wasn't

A player in middle position opened to 1,225 and Dean Hamrick re-raised to 3,475. His opponent put in a huge four-bet to 15,000 and Hamrick moved all in for just 2,000 more. His opponent made a crying call and the hands were tabled:

Showdown
Hamrick: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Opponent {6-Spades}{2-Hearts} (oops)

Hamrick stood up after the flop fell {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, convinced that he was done. Fortunately for him the {A-Diamonds} turned giving him the lead again. The {3-Hearts} bricked on the river and Hamrick doubled to 38,000 chips.
