Dwan Harpoons patatino Again

The turn comes the 5♦ and patatino checks again. durrrr bets $43,600 and patatino elects to just flat-call.
The river is the 2♥ and patatino checks. durrrr bets $177,484 all-in and patatino calls off his last $167,942.
durrrr shows 7♠ 3♠ for the turned straight and patatino mucks.
The Breakdown
The hand starts out with durrrr raising from under the gun to $3,000 with 7♠ 3♠. Definitely not a standard move by any means. I mean a suited four-gap from early position?
Anyway, he is durrrr, and he is not to be questioned. Maybe he figured he would end up heads-up with patatino a high percentage of the time, or maybe he Either way, he raises it up and everyone else gets out of his way.
patatino does make the call. Again, he probably has a pair of kings here. Anything more, and he would have check-raised again on the turn.
The river comes 2♥. patatino checks and durrrr shoves all-in for $177,484. patatino tanks and lets his time run almost all the way down before making the call.
When durrrr shows the 7♠ 3♠, patatino mucks. The straight is good for the $474,984 pot and also the title of "sickest hand to bust patatino with."
