McAllister on the Comeback Trail

David Salituro

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Lance Schuchard moved all in from the cutoff and Heath McAllister called on the button.

Lance Schuchard: A♦K♠ All in
Heath McAllister: A♣Q♠

Schuchard had McAllister dominated, and the 8♦7♥7♠9♦3♥ board earned him the double up. McAllister had Schuchard's remaining 475,000 covered by just 15,000.

"This is where it begins," McAllister said as he put in his last chips the next hand. Damon Muehl then reraised on the button, and the rest of the table folded.

Heath McAllister: A♣8♦ All in
Damon Muehl: 3♦3♥

McAllister remained behind going to the river on a board of Q♣6♥9♦5♥, but he spiked the 7♣ on the river to make a straight and let out a loud cry in celebration.

"The comeback!" he yelled.

Hanson quickly folded, but Aoki went into the tank for several minutes. She eventually folded, and Hammarstrom showed her Q♠10♠.

"We were flipping, I had sevens," Aoki said.

Three players went to the flop on a board of A♣9♦5♣. Jon Wurden then bet 425,000 from the hijack and Heath McAllister folded in the big blind, but Preston Dean then shoved from early position. Wurden called for 700,000.

Jon Wurden: A♠Q♥ All in
Preston Dean: 5♠5♥

Wurden had flopped top pair, but Dean showed down a set for the lead. The Q♣ turn gave Wurden some outs, but he missed the 7♦ river and was eliminated in 14th place.

The rapid pace of eliminations continued on the other table, as D'Koda Geer got in his last 500,000 from the big blind on a flop of K♥5♣5♥. He had king-ten, but Dave Ouellette in early position showed A♥A♦ and held on through the Q♣ turn and 3♥ river to send Geer to the rail.
