I've recently started to watch poker tournaments and have been enjoying it quite a lot, so I started to watch older stuff, but sometimes I get really confused when a situation I haven't seen gets showed. Usually I can google the answer but this time I wasn't coming up with anything.

In this instance, it was Hellmuth vs Minieri. The cards were:
Hellmuth: 9H / 7D
Minieri: Kings D / 3D

Dealer drew: 7C / Kings H / 7S / Kings C / 9S

I always though Full House beat Three of a Kind, so how come Minieri won the hand?
(I did make sure it wasn't a low-ball tournament and that Hellmuth did indeed call)

Thanks for the help.
