Bryan Devonshire Doubles Up

A middle-position player raised to 1,600 and action folded to Bryan Devonshire in the big blind. He called all in for his remaining 1,325. The players showed:

Devonshire: {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}

It wasn't looking good for "Devo" by the turn when the board read {3-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {5-Spades} {K-Clubs}. The river however fell the {9-Diamonds} and Devonshire doubled up to just over the starting stack of 3,000 in chips.
