Duncan Bell Triples Up

In perhaps the biggest hand of the tournament, Duncan Bell raised to 60,000 from the cutoff and [Removed:500] moved all in for 390,000. Yuri Shapiro went all in from the small blind and Bell made the call. Here were the hands:

Bell: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}
Ta: {9-Spades} {9-Clubs}
Shapiro: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

With Bell calling for his kings to hold up they did just that, as the board ran out {J-Spades} {10-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {A-Spades} to triple Bell up to over 1 million. Shapiro was left with just 49,000 and Ta around 60,000.
