From Third to First: The Chris Allen Story
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
After a preflop betting war, Chris Allen managed to get all of the chips into the middle against two opponents, each with stacks of around 30,000.
Player 1: A♣Q♣
Player 2: 10♣10♥
Chris Allen: 7♣7♠
Allen was in second place going into this matchup but was quickly demoted to third when the flop came out Q♣5♠4♠ when one of his opponents made a pair of queens.
Wildly enough, the board ran out 5♠J♠ to give Allen runner-runner spades to make a flush, awarding him the substantial pot and scoring him a double knockout. This win boosted him up to around 215,000 in chips and is now sitting with one of the larger stacks in the room.
