Big Stax 500 (Day 1C): Triple Threat

Level 12 (Blinds 1,000/2,000/300)
Total Combined Entries: 889

Table 74 was about to break, but players had one more hand remaining before the chips would be racked up.  The player UTG opened and was flatted by Andrew Zhu, with action then folding around to Joe Black in the big blind.  Black would three bet to 24,000, with the original raiser moving all-in over the top pretty quickly (70,000).  Andrew Zhu would commit the rest of his chips (74,700), and Joe Black would make the call, having both players covered:

Black: K♠ K♣          UTG: J♥ J♦           Zhu: 3♣ 3♦

Flop: 6♠ 4♦ 3♠

Turn: 8♦

River: A♠

Zhu would go from worst to first in a matter of the dealer putting out the flop, and after he faded the turn and river he would triple up to 229,000.
