Maruya Flops Trips to Double in Blind Battle

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Grant Maruya was all-in in the big blind for about 35,000 chips against a player in the small blind and they were waiting to see a flop as cards were revealed.

Grant Maruya: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Small Blind: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

An ace may have been the easiest way for Maruya to jump ahead, but he had no problem with the {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop. The {3-Clubs} came on the turn and with only a ten to eliminate him, the river was the {2-Diamonds} and Maruya took the pot.
