Christopher Ellis Double Ups

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Christopher Ellis, from Las Vegas, NV shoved all in from middle position for 15,200 chips. The big blind, Diana Zhao, from Los Angeles, CA called after tanking for a minute.

Ellis flipped up {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Zhao showed {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, giving Ellis trip tens. It just kept getting better for Ellis when the {7-Diamonds} came on the turn, giving him a full house. The river came out {8-Hearts} and Ellis sits with 30,400 in front of him.
