Ngoc Tran Finds Miracle River

On a board reading {q-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{8-}{8-} we arrived to see Jimmy Ngoc Tran betting with his opponent raising all in. Ngoc Tran made the call and it looked like it was going to be a chop when the cards were turned up.

Ngoc Tran: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {k-}{10-}

But as you may have guessed, the river was huge for Ngoc Tran, coming down {9-} and giving him a better two pair. He's now up to 29,000 while his opponent is bust.
