Trickett's Kings Reign Over Mukhin
Level 16
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Sam Trickett opened the hijack and Viktor Mukhin three-bet shoved a stack of around 3,200,000. When it got back to Trickett, he called off his stack of around 2,450,000.
Sam Trickett: K♥K♦ 
Viktor Mukhin: A♣6♥
Trickett had the lead and just needed to fade the ace of Mukhin, who was looking to thin down the field. A flop of K♣5♣10♠ favored Trickett as he made top set, leaving Mukhin with just some backdoor draws.
Despite the turn being a club, the 10♣ wasn't what Mukhin was looking for as Trickett made a full house to lock up the pot. An 8♦ completed the board, and Trickett's stack soared to around 5,000,000.
