Mataix Doubles, Much to His Surprise

Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jose Rodriguez bet 12,000 from the button on a flop of 7?7?A? and Jordi Mataix called in middle position.
The turn came the Q? and Rodriguez bet another 35,000. Mataix again called to see the K? river, where he pushed all in for 60,000.
Rodriguez tanked for nearly a minute before he called. Mataix then turned over K?Q? and got up from his seat prepared to make his exit, but then found he was ahead as Rodriguez could only show K?J? giving Mataix a double up.
