Sun Catches His Boat on the River to Score the Double KO

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Jianfeng Sun

Sakis Adrianopoulos raised preflop from early postion and Nichan Khorchidian three-bet from the hijack. Jianfeng Sun then cold four-bet to 11,500 from the button and got called by both Adrianopoulos and Khorchidian.

With around 35,000 in the middle, the three players saw the dealer fan out the flop of 8JQ. Adrianopoulos instantly shoved for 68,300. Khorchidian called for his last 60,000 and Sun made the call with a stack that covered both his opponents.

Sakis Adrianopoulos: KK All in
Nichan Khorchidian: 109 All in
Jianfeng Sun: QQ

A brutal flop saw Adrianopoulos flop an overpair, Khorchidian flop the nut straight, and Sun hit top set. The 5 turn meant Khorchidian just had to fade a board-pairing river to triple up. However, a brutal J dropped on the river to give Sun the winner with a full house, sending Adrianopoulos and Khorchidian to the rail.
