Guofeng Wang raised to 1,200,000 from the cutoff and Michael Allen defended in the big blind.
The 5♥5♣7♥ flop checked through to the 8♥ on the turn. Allen took the lead for 2,425,000 and Wang called.
The K♦ river saw Allen bet again, this time for 5,125,000, approximately half his stack. Wang thought on his decision for some time before moving all in, putting Allen to the test for his total stack of 9,975,000. Allen went deep into the tank, thinking aloud as he did so.
Pained by his decision, Allen finally made the call.
Michael Allen: K♥3♥
Guofeng Wang: J♥9♥
Flush over flush saw this monster pot shipped to Allen, who reiterated to Wang that he did not intend for the hand to come across as a slow roll - the rest of the table reassured Allen that it was indeed a difficult spot.
