Allen Rockets to Huge Double-Up
Level 16
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Kevin Allen had gotten his above-average stack of 253,000 in preflop on the button. He had been looked up by Rafael Navas, who played an enormous stack in early position, and the players showed down.
Kevin Allen: A♠A♦ 
Rafael Navas: A♥Q♥
Allen had Navas drawing dead after the 3♣6♠7♣8♥ turn, rendering the 5♠ river meaningless as he doubled to over 100 big blinds.
