Demydenko Gets There to Stay Alive

Level 19
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mykhailo Demydenko moved all in for 103,000 from middle position, Daniel Ruiz isolated by moving all in for approximately 300,000, from the cutoff, and the hand went to a showdown.
Mykhailo Demydenko: A?10?
Daniel Ruiz: J?J?
Demydenko was going to need some help and that's exactly what he got on the 10?3?A? flop, giving him two pair. The K? turn gave extra outs to a straight but the 2? river ensured Demydenko doubled up.
