Zhao Smacks the Flop to Double Off Kirichenko
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Gang Zhao was all in for his last 93,000 before the flop and up against Aleksandr Kirichenko.
Gang Zhao: 10♣9♣
Aleksandr Kirichenko: A♣10♦
Kirichenko had Zhao dominated as the A♠ fell in the window, but it was followed by 9♦9♠ and Zhao made trips while a collective "wow" arose from the table.
The board ran out Q♠10♠ and Zhao improved to a full house to double up.
