Aces Versus Queens
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
It was a battle of two players in late position as Randy Levin in the cutoff and Malachy Hagan on the button got the chips in when Levin raised and faced an all-in from Hagan. Levin made the call and sent the players to a showdown, putting Hagan at risk.
Malachy Hagan: A♦A♠
Randy Levin: Q♦Q♠
Hagan was hoping to see no queen, and it did not appear as the board fanned out 3♦7♥3♣3♥5♦ to improve both players to a full house. The threes full of aces was the high hand, doubling Hagan up, and left Levin with less than ten big blinds.
