Defending the Big Blind Pays Off For Papazian

Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action was caught on the flop 7?7?6?. The under the gun player bet 2,000 and Noam Muallem in middle position called. Alex Papazian then raised it to 7,000, to which the under-the-gun player folded, but Muallem called.
The turn was the 10?, and Papazian bet 8,000. Muallem now went all in for 27,000 total and Papazian called.
Alex Papazian: K?7?
Noam Muallem: 10?9?
Papazian was way ahead with his trips and Muallem did not get any of his outs on the A? river.
