The Proverbial Two Birds

John Nguyen opened the pot to 20,000 from the cutoff seat before William McMahon moved all in for 58,000 in the next seat over. Action came to Samuel Trickett, and he made the call all in for his last 40,000 as well. Let's have a three-way showdown, shall we?

Nguyen: {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}
McMahon: {K-Spades} {9-Spades}
Trickett: {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

Our intrepid field reporter was momentarily distracted him from catching the board, but king-nine got there with one pair, moving McMahon up to 130,000. That knocks both Nguyen and Trickett out of the tournament, and the big board says 35 players remain.
