Tang Makes a Boat to Double Up
Level 9
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Alex Kulev raised from under the gun to 30,000, and when it folded to Danny Tang in the cutoff, he three-bet all in for 195,000. It folded back to Kulev who made the call to put Tang at risk.
Danny Tang: A♠9♠ 
Alex Kulev: A♥J♣
Tang found himself dominated by Kulev, but after the flop came K♣A♣9♥ the roles were reversed, and it was Tang in front with his two pair, aces and nines. The Q♠ on the turn kept Tang in front, and the 9♦ on the river gave Tang a full house, nines full of aces to double up.
