Gary Blackwood opened to 1,400 from middle position and was three-bet to 5,000 by Cassandra Yong in the big blind. Blackwood responded with a four-bet to 11,500 and Yong five-bet to 25,000. Blackwood called.

The rest of Yong's 86,200 in chips went into the middle on the K♥10♣9♠ flop and Blackwood called with a covering stack for a massive showdown.

Cassandra Yong: K♦K♣All in
Gary Blackwood: A♦A♠

Yong had flopped a set against Blackwood's aces, and the 4♦6♥ changed nothing — awarding a massive double-up for Yong and knocking Blackwood down to just 21,000.
