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.
