Koliakoudakis Cracks Kings with Trips
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
In a preflop raising battle, George Alexander ended up all in, and Roussos Koliakoudakis made the call, taking the hand straight to a showdown.
George Alexander: K♦K♣8♠8♣
Roussos Koliakoudakis: K♥Q♥J♦10♣
Alexander was ahead with a pair of kings in his hand, but the flop Q♠Q♦6♦ flipped the script fast, giving Koliakoudakis trip queens. With very few outs left, Alexander needed a miracle, but the 6♠ turn and J♣ river sealed his fate, sending him to the rail.
