Huang Doubles in "A Coin Flip"

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Timothy Adams made it 40,000 in the cutoff and Aaron van Blarcum flatted in the small blind. Shan Huang moved all in from the big blind for 633,000 and Adams reshoved, getting rid of van Blarcum. Huang showed pocket kings and he was ahead of Adams' {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}. The board of {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Spades} didn't hurt Huang and he doubled up.

"Ohh, I win! I win a coin flip!" Huang laughed, shouting in excitement.
