Thomas Wahlroos Doubles Through Steve Sung

Thomas Wahlroos raised from the cutoff and Steve Sung called from the big blind. The flop was {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Sung checked, Wahlroos bet his remaining 5,000 and Sung called. Sung held the lowly {3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} while Wahlroos tabled the slightly less lowly {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The turn was the {A-Spades}, the river was the {10-Diamonds}, and Wahlroos' trip tens with a king kicker was good enough to double his stack to 30,000.
