The hand began with a raise from an opponent under-the-gun. This wager garnered five callers to create a six-handed pot as they took a flop.
The table checked to the button on the 9♠3♣K♥ flop. Shawn Aloor chose to go all-in for 16,700 and was called in the next seat over by the small blind to be at risk.
Shawn Aloor: K♣Q♦
Opponent: K♦9♦
Aloor was in bad shape against the two pair of his opponent, but the turn came to the rescue as the Q♥ peeled to give Aloor a better two pair.
The 8♣ river changed nothing as Aloor was awarded the double up.

Both players checked the J♦Q♥2♠ flop to bring the 9♠ turn.

Opponent: J♠J♥
Scott Allred: 10♥8♥
His opponent flopped top set, but it was Allred who had the best of it with one card to go with a turned straight.
The 3♣ did not pair the board as Allred took down a healthy pot as he builds a six-figure stack.
