Coullurafici Wakes Up With Kings
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action folded to Thomas Laviano who raised to 22,000 from the hijack, and was called by Bin Weng on the button. Then the small blind Anthony Collurafici Jr three-bet all in for 186,000. The big blind and Laviano folded, and Weng confirmed the count, and put in the chips to call.
Anthony Collurafici Jr: K♠K♣ 
Bin Weng: 8♠8♣
Collurafici woke up with kings and was in a great spot to double up versus Weng's smaller pocket pair. After the board ran out 2♠10♠A♥5♠3♥ the pocket kings were still best, and Collurafici secured the double up.
