Allen Crushed
Level 22
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Dave Allen started things off with a bet of 60,000 from middle position, as Kwang Nguyen came along for the ride from the hijack. Ian Thomson wanted to end it there and then, and moved all in for 710,000. With the decision back on Allen, he thought for over a minute, before making the call, as Nguyen got out of the way.
Allen: 
Thomson: 
Board: 
Allen was in great shape to eliminate Thomson when the board blanked, but the ace on the turn put him behind, and he was unable to get the river card he wanted.
