Tang Beats Kings With Kings
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Alexander Sokolovsky raised to 40,00 under the gun before Mustafa Biz three-bet to 125,000 from the next seat. Xin Tang then four-bet shoved for 325,000 out of the big, which only Biz called.
Xin Tang: K♥K♦ 
Mustafa Biz: K♠K♣
It looked likely that they were going to chop the pot as both had pocket kings. However, the flop of 9♦9♥7♦ offered Tang a potential backdoor flush draw. The J♦ turn produced that flush draw, and when the 4♦ came on the river Tang had spiked a flush with his Cowboys, earning him the double-up.
