"The Master" Wins Big with Aces Before the Break

Men "The Master" Nguyen made it 6,000 to go from under the gun and got 4 callers. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{Q-Spades}; Men checked and the player to his left led out with a 13,000 bet. The action folded around to Nguyen, who check-raised all-in for 12,000 more.

His opponent made the call and turned over {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for two pair, Queens and 8's, but Men flipped over pocket A's for a higher two pair.

The turn and river blanked out and Men went on to win the hand, upping his total chip count to 90,000.

[user22113]
Flop: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}

Tim Dolan called a bet on the flop of 7,500 and found himself caught in the middle of a monster hand when the player to act behind him moved all-in for 35,000. When the original bettor called the all-in, Dolan decided to call as well.

Opponent 1: {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Tim Dolan: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Opponent 2: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Behind on the flop, Dolan catches a fantastic king on the turn, followed by a second king on the river for kings full of queens! Tim went from being last in the hand to best. Tim is up to 196,300 after the hand.
