Achour Cracks Kings
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Maher Achour was all-in for 24,500 and at risk versus Alberto Romeo on a flop of 8?9?2?.
Maher Achour: 10?9? 
Alberto Romeo: K?K?
Achour had run his top pair nines into Romeo's pocket kings, and needed some help to escape.
The 9? rolled off on the turn to give Achour trip nines, and the 2? river was a brick to send him a timely double-up, and leave Romeo shaking his head at his misfortune.
