Action was caught on the flop of K♥K♠4♥. Chang bet 275,000 into a pot of around 1,500,000 from the cutoff and Pihela called in the big blind.

Taowei Chang: A♠K♦

Both players flopped trip kings, but Chang’s kicker played. There were some chop outs for Pihela and three sixes for the win, but the river was the 7♦ and Pihela was eliminated.
