Sturm and Allen Clash Early
Level 16
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
There were already around 110,000 in the pot on a flop of 8♦2♣J♠ when Michael Allen bet 48,000 from the small blind and Leon Sturm called out of the big blind.
A 2♦ hit the turn and Allen continued to fire, this time for 92,000. Sturm stuck around with a call and both watched the 5♦ hit the river. Allen slowed down and checked it over, then after using some extra time, Sturm announced a bet of 220,000. Before Sturm could even get the chips in, Allen folded, and Sturm raked in the pot.
