Depaulo's Two Pair Holds to Eliminate Opponent

Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ryan Depaulo raised to 4,500 in middle position and was called by the button and the big blind.
When the flop came K♥9♦8♦, the big blind checked, and Depaulo continued for 4,500. The button made the call and the big blind mucked.
The A♥ hit the turn, and Depaulo checked before his opponent jammed all-in for about 38,000. Depaulo snap-called by dropping a chip across the line and tabling his hand.
Button: A♦4♦
Ryan Depaulo: K♠8♠
Depaulo had flopped two pair but was still dodging plenty of outs as his opponent turned top pair and the nut flush draw. The 6♥ river wasn't one of his opponents outs though as he hit the rail.
