Peffly Hits the River to Double Up

Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On the second hand on the day, Dario Sammartino opened to 45,000 from under the gun, then Alex Peffly three-bet all in for 160,000 in early position. All the other players folded, and Sammartino called.
Alex Peffly: A?10?
Dario Sammartino: K?K?
Peffly hit two pair on the flop?10?8?8?, but it wasn't enough to beat Sammartino's kings. The J? on the turn didn't change anything. But the A? landed on the river to give the ace Peffly needed to double up.
