Kay Walks the Linov

Three players made it to see the 
flop and the chipped-up Matvey Linov in the small blind and an only slightly less chipped-up Seppo Parkkinen in the big blind checked to Matt Kay in the hijack. He bet 1,700, and both his opponents called.
The turn was the 
and, again, it checked around to Kay. This time he bet 4,500. Linov called and Parkkinen folded, meaning that they were heads up to the river.
The river brought a second king and Linov checked a third time. This time Kay - with just 13,000 left to his name - checked behind. Linov revealed 
for two pair, and Kay expressionlessly mucked.
Linov, already chip leader before the hand, increased his stack to 120,000.
