Kim Leaves Machen with Crumbs After Set Over Set
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Joseph Cutler raised to 200 from under the gun, before Hyon Kim three-bet to 900. He was called by John Machen in the hijack, and the player on the button.
The flop came A♦Q♥4♥ and Cutler checked to Kim, who bet 1,500. Then Machen raised to 4,000, which got the button and Cutler to fold. Kim then three-bet to 11,500, and Machen four-bet all in for 48,000, which was snap called by Kim.
Hyon Kim: Q♦Q♣ 
John Machen: 4♦4♣
It was a cooler for Machen as Kim flopped the bigger set. Once the board ran out 9♥ on the turn and K♥ on the river, Kim had to the best hand with his set of queens, to double up and leave Machen with just 800 chips.
