Kihyun Scoops; Tonigold Sent to the Cage

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

A three-way hand broke out when Poong Kihyun jammed from early position. Jeannine Tonigold pushed in her last 44,000, and both were called by Timothy Shifflet, who had both players covered.

Poong Kihyun: KJAll in
Jeannine Tonigold: 75All in
Timothy Shifflet: 99

The A52 flop kept Shifflet's nines in the lead, but the K turn was a welcome sight for Kihyun, who hit one of his outs. The K river improved Kihyun to trips to seal the deal.

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: AAAll in
Randy Levin: QQ

Hagan was hoping to see no queen, and it did not appear as the board fanned out 37335 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.
