Collopy's Kings Send Him Huge Double Up

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Cheng Liu opened the action with a raise to 2,800 from under the gun, and it folded around to Jim Collopy in late position. He put in a three bet to 7,200, and when it got back to Liu, he didn't waste much time before moving all in. It was a massive bet, as Liu had about 85,000, and Collopy had just under 70,000. Collopy quickly called, and he had a huge showdown ahead of us.

Collopy: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Liu: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

There was an ace on the flop, but there was also a king, as it came down {k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. Of course, nothing comes easy in poker, so the {2-Diamonds} came on the turn to give Liu a flush draw sweat. However, it was black on the river, as the {9-Spades} came down.

After the stacks were counted down, Collopy catapulted to 145,000, while Liu tumbled all the way down to 18,000.
