Ace-King versus pocket queens clashing all in preflop happens quite often in No Limit Hold'em. Both hands are usually strong enough to warrant an all in. Some players prefer ace-king others prefer queens. At table 520 this classic confrontation presented itself two hands in a row.
Brian Pinkus told PokerNews that he was involved in an all in with a player in the small blind. Pinkus held AxKx and the small blind had QxQx. Pinkus flopped an ace and eliminated the player in the small blind.
The very next hand Xue Song was all in and at risk and was called by a player on the button.
Xue Song: A♠K♦ 
Button: Q♠Q♣
The board ran out 2♠5♦K♣3♥10♣ securing a double up for Song.
What's your preference ace-king or queens? Apparently at table 520 it's ace-king.
