James Paras Doubles Through Curtis Early

James Paras moved all in from under the gun for 238,000. Action folded around to Curtis Early in the big blind who made the call. The players showed:

Early: {A-Hearts} {3-Clubs}
Paras: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}

Early had a slight edge in the hand, but that edge was quickly reversed when the flop came {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} {8-Clubs}. Paras had flopped three of a kind and Early would need runner-runner to win the pot. Neither the {9-Clubs} turn or {6-Spades} river helped him and James Paras doubled up to over 500,000 chips.
