Batyrkhanov Doubles With Two Kings
Level 2
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
In a battle of the blinds between Meir Batyrkhanov and Tobias Peters, there were already 37,000 chips in the pot, with both players staring at a 10♥10♦10♣ flop. From the small blind, Batyrkhanov fired out a bet of 15,000, which Peters called.
The 8♥ landed on the turn and Batyrkhanov didn't waste too much time before shoving for 38,000. Peters sat back in his chair, did some inventory, and then made the call for about a third of his stack.
Meir Batyrkhanov: K♠K♦ 
Tobias Peters: A♥K♣
Batyrkhanov had the goods with a full house and just had to fade a ten or an ace on the river to double through Peters. The blank 2♥ hit the river and Batyrkhanov earned the double-up.
