Demydenko Gets There to Stay Alive
Level 19
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mykhailo Demydenko moved all in for 103,000 from middle position, Daniel Ruiz isolated by moving all in for approximately 300,000, from the cutoff, and the hand went to a showdown.
Mykhailo Demydenko: A♠10♥ 
Daniel Ruiz: J♥J♠
Demydenko was going to need some help and that's exactly what he got on the 10♠3♣A♥ flop, giving him two pair. The K♣ turn gave extra outs to a straight but the 2♠ river ensured Demydenko doubled up.
