Deck is Kind to Vitkind

We found Dmitry Vitkind moving in for 24,000 on the turn of a {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} board. He sat there looking very alert, while his buddy and fellow Dmitry, Dmitry Stelmak, stood behind his chair like a relatively harmless bodyguard.

Eventually Vitkind's opponent, who'd spent a while stacking a re-stacking chips, announced call. He turned over {a-}{9-} for a pair of nines, but Vitkind triumphantly tabled {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for a higher pair. The river was a blank {10-Diamonds} and Vitkind doubled to what looked like a huge pile of unstacked random chips even five minutes later, but we suspect was well over 60,000.
