Berkey Doubles

After a player opened to 2,900, Matt Berkey took the opportunity to move all in for 13,200. Berkey's opponent called and the hands were turned up:

Berkey: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Berkey fell behind on the {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop and would need to pair up to stay alive in the tournament. The {2-Hearts} on fourth street did not do it but the {A-Hearts} peeled off on the river and he was able to score a double up to roughly 27,000 in chips.
