Martin Nielsen Eliminated in 5th Place ($51,900)
Level 37
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Action folded around to Matthew Allen in the small blind, and he made it 2,400,000 to go. Martin Nielsen defended from the big blind with a call.
The flop came 7♠10♣4♥, and Allen checked. Nielsen responded with a pot-sized bet of 5,600,000. Allen took a moment, double-checked his cards, then moved all in. Nielsen snap-called, and the cards were tabled.
Martin Nielsen: A♠8♠6♦3♦
Matthew Allen: A♣J♥J♠4♦
Allen was ahead with a pair of jacks, but the A♦ on the turn gave both players top pair. Still, Allen pulled further in front with two pair, aces and fours. The K♦ river was no help to Nielsen, and his deep run came to an end.
