Max Pescatori Doubles Up

We caught up to this hand on the turn. There was roughly 4,000 in the pot and the board read {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {2-Spades}. Max Pescatori pushed all in for 2,800 and got called by his lone opponent. The players showed:

Pescatori: {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Diamonds} {7-Spades}

Max had his opponent drawing dead and the meaningless {K-Spades} hit the river. Pescatori now works with a stack of about 7,000.
