Dennehy Gets a Lucky Double Up
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Matthew Allen raised from the button to 325,000 and got a call from Mike Dennehy in the big blind.
Dennehy pushed his remaining 370,000 into the middle on the 3♦4♣6♠ flop, and Allen called.
Mike Dennehy: Q♠8♥7♠7♣
Matthew Allen: K♣K♦9♣6♦
Dennehy was in trouble and way behind, but the 9♠ on the turn gave him some hope, and when the K♠ fell on the river, it gave him a backdoor flush, and he was pushed the pot for a full double up.
