Stivoli Gets There

Mauro Stivoli was all in and at risk with {a-Spades}{9-Clubs} against the {q-}{q-} of Hafiz Khan. Khan remained ahead on the flop ({10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}), and the turn ({9-Spades}), but the {a-Clubs} spiked on the river, giving Stivoli a pair of aces.

His rail exploded, and Stivoli was jumping up and down in celebration. After the dust settled, the stacks looked like this:
