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.
