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.

Always a Sweat
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
After an open to 4,200, "Legendary" Kaleb Dunn three-bet to 10,000 but he was then four-bet by josh Roberts who moved all in for around 32,000.
The original raiser promptly folded and Dunn made the call, putting himself at risk as the cards were tabled.
Kaleb Dunn: A♥K♥
Josh Roberts: A♠K♠
"Good luck sir," Dunn joked as the players realized they had the same hand, but the flop of 6♥A♦5♥ gave Dunn the nit flush draw for a big sweat.
Luckily for Roberts, the board ran out 4♦10♣ and the two players chopped up the pot.
"Sorry guys, I have to make it a sweat or they'll take away my union card," the dealer joked as he gave each player their share, to which the table heartily laughed.

Cornelius Beats The Blind Hand
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
After moving all-in blind the previous hand, Matt Kschinka moved all-in blind once more under-the-gun and was called by Jules Cornelius to put him at risk.
Matt Kschinka: 9♠9♦
Jules Cornelius: A♦A♥
"Wow, I actually have a real hand!" Kschinka exclaimed when the cards were tabled.
Unfortunately, his pocket nines couldn't hold up to Cornelius' aces on the 6♦3♥Q♥K♣K♦ board.
"Did i win?" Kschinka joked as his chips were pushed over to Cornelius and he headed to the rebuy desk, vowing to return.
