Zhao Smacks the Flop to Double Off Kirichenko

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Gang Zhao was all in for his last 93,000 before the flop and up against Aleksandr Kirichenko.

Gang Zhao: 10?9?
Aleksandr Kirichenko: A?10?

Kirichenko had Zhao dominated as the A? fell in the window, but it was followed by 9?9? and Zhao made trips while a collective "wow" arose from the table.

The board ran out Q?10? and Zhao improved to a full house to double up.
