Chang Outkicks Pihela in Trips Versus Trips
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Action was caught on the flop of K♥K♠4♥. Chang bet 275,000 into a pot of around 1,500,000 from the cutoff and Pihela called in the big blind.
The turn was the 9♣. Pihela checked and Chang put a stack of blues in the middle for around 2,000,000. Without thinking for too long, Pihela declared all in, which was for just under 4,000,000 total. Chang called and had Pihela covered.
Igor Pihela: K♣6♥
Taowei Chang: A♠K♦
Both players flopped trip kings, but Chang’s kicker played. There were some chop outs for Pihela and three sixes for the win, but the river was the 7♦ and Pihela was eliminated.
