Lunkin Climbs Back Up

We came into this pot with the board reading {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and 50,000 + already in the pot.

A middle position player bet 20,000 more into the pot on the river and Vitaly Lunkin called him down. The player showed {j-}{10-} for nothing but a missed straight draw, and Lunkin showed {a-}{a-} for the best starting hand in poker to hold up. Lunkin at one point was down to under 50,000, but now has built himself back up to around 180,000
