Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
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.

The action folded around to Brandon Sheils in the small blind as he moved all in, the player in the big blind had about 45,000 and made the call.
Big blind: 10♣3♥
Brandon Sheils: A♦8♠
Sheils had the lead with ace-high and the Q♦8♥6♣5♣J♠ runout gave him pair of eights to send his opponent to the payout desk.

Translated from Japanese by Google:
First move double up ✨
He min-raised me in the out position, so I called KK or AA in the margin, which was easy 👍
Pre-flooring that reveals too much of your hand is no good lol

A player from middle position raised to 32,000. Robert van Hoose then went all in from the button, action folded back around and the player in middle position made the call.
Robert van Hoose: A♠A♣
Button: 6♦6♣
The 6♥2♠4♥ left Van Hoose in desperate need of help. The dealer delivered that help in the form of a A♥ turn card. The river was the 4♦ securing a much needed double up for Van Hoose.

Olga Iermolcheva went all in for 75,000, only a few big blinds, and Bill Stabler couldn't help but consider calling, going as far as saying the math might dictate it.
"There's no shame in folding!" Iermolcheva encouraged and eventually Stabler released his hand, saying he had six-high, suited.
Iermolcheva tried to tell Stabler he'd feel bad to bust her and he assured her he would feel no such way.

Juan Lopez jammed 148,000 from early position and Jamie Gold announced all in on the button, forcing the blinds to get out of the way.
Juan Lopez: A♠K♥
Jamie Gold: J♣J♥
Gold's jacks were in the lead to the 9♠6♠2♥6♥ turn, but the A♣ fell on the river as Lopez let out a fist pump in the air and collected the double.
