Allen Finds Rivered Ace

On a flop of {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and facing a 5,400-chip bet, Ryan Allen moved all in for 25,800 and was called by the preflop aggressor.

Allen: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

With Allen needing to spike a heart, ace or running cards for a straight, the {8-Spades} on the turn changed little.

Fortunately for Allen the {A-Clubs} peeled on the river to see him double through to 61,000 in chips.
