McLean Scores Triple Up; Culligan Eliminates Mazilu

Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

After being left with crumbs in the previous hand, Allen McLean moved all in from early position for 9,000. Douglas Culligan three-bet to 20,000, before Mihal Mazilu moved all in for 97,000. Culligan quickly called and covered both players.
Allen McLean: A?K?
Mihal Mazilu: Q?Q?
Douglas Culligan: A?A?
Culligan's aces were in great shape versus the queens of Mazilu and ace-king of McLean and continued to be so after the K?8?2? flop.
However the 4? turn brought McLean a flush draw, and the 8? rolled off on the river to secure McLean the triple up with the nut flush. Culligan won the significant side pot, sending Mazilu to the rail.
