Double Knockout with KK for Mabuchi

Shamus

We just saw a three-way all in between Kyle Rowe, Howard Lederer and Motoyuki Mabuchi.

We caught up to this one just as all the chips were being collected, but it appears the action went shove-reshove-call, with Rowe pushing all in from the button with {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{2-Hearts}

, Lederer going in from the small blind with {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

, and Mabuchi, who had them both covered, waking up with {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

in the big blind.

The board came {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

, and Mabuchi knocks out two players. After being all in himself with A-Q against two players holding A-K just an orbit or so ago, Mabuchi's now up to 345,000.

Since Lederer had more chips than Rowe when the hand began, Rowe finishes 31st and Lederer 30th -- which matters, since 31st pays $10,366 and 30th pays $11,839.
