Hirakawa Aces Out Pazol
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Marissa Hirakawa raised from middle position. Naomi Pazol moved all in. Dragana Mackelprang raised all in from the hijack. Hirakawa gladly pushed all of her stack of 49,500 chips in for less.
Naomi Pazol: 10♦10♠
Marissa Hirakawa: A♦A♣
Dragana Mackelprang: K♣K♠
Seeing her position in the three-way all-in, Pazol said, "I guess I'll be PokerNews famous if I win it."
As it was, Hirakawa had the best of it going into the flop, and her hand kept getting better, as she ended up with quad aces in the runout of 7♠A♠9♣A♥9♥.
