Allen Smacks Another Flop to Stun Burcham

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Nathan Allen
Nathan Allen

A hand after taking out Mark Britton, Nathan Allen got involed in another big pot as he and Dan Burcham got all their chips in the middle before the flop.

Nathan Allen: KK All in
Dan Burcham: AA

Burcham had woken up with aces and was poised for the massive knockout until the flop brought K3Q to give Allen top set. Burcham shot out of his seat as the rest of the board ran out J3, and Allen doubled up for 311,000.

"F**king stupid. F**king trash," Burcham said as he handed over most of his stack. He then stormed out of the room while Allen raked in the massive pot.

Mark Britton: 98 All in

Sickels Makes the Nuts, Schuchard Gets Away

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Kevin Sickels
Kevin Sickels

After two limps in front of him, Michael Stuker raised to 16,000 on the button and was called by Lance Schuchard in the small blind, Andrew Asher in the hijack, and Kevin Sickels in the cutoff.

The flop came 763 and Sickels bet 20,000. Stuker then moved all in for 65,000, and both Schuchard and Sickels called.

The turn was the 8 and Schuchard led out for 75,000. Sickels then moved all in for 319,000, and Schuchard tanked for a few minutes before folding QJ.

His suspicions proved correct, as Sickels turned over A2 for the nut flush. Stuker didn't even bother turning over his cards before leaving the table, and the dealer eventually retrieved his KK before revealing the 2 river as Sickels raked in the massive pot.

Lee Shows Gonzales Aces

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Angie Lee bet 12,000 from early position on a flop of 5J10 and Juan Gonzales called on the button. The dealer turned over the 3 even before Arlie Brandvold had a chance to act in the big blind. He eventually folded, and the card was shuffled back into the deck and a new 8 turn was dealt.

Lee then bet 24,000 and Gonzales again called. The river was the Q and Lee bet 25,000. Gonzales quickly called with KQ for a rivered pair, but Lee had AA to win the pot.

Sickels Coolers Britton For a Double

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kevin Sickels moved all in for 200,000 from under the gun and Mark Britton put him at risk in middle position.

Kevin Sickels: KK All in
Mark Britton: QQ

Sickels had found two kings and had Britton's queens dominated as he was a big favorite to double up. The 7AK flop gave him a set, while Britton picked up some outs on the 10 turn with a straight draw. He missed the 8 river, and Sickels raked in the big pot.
