Ace Not High Enough for Allen
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Vincent Giuliano opened from the button, but things escalated quickly in the blinds. Michael Allen shoved for around 119,000 from the small blind, only to be met with an almost instant re-shove from Gustavo De Lima in the big blind, who had him covered. Giuliano got out of the way, and the two blinds were left to battle it out.
Michael Allen: A♥3♥
Gustavo De Lima: A♠Q♣
It was a rough spot for Allen, dominated by De Lima’s superior ace. The board ran out 7♠9♠8♦J♠6♠, offering no help, and Allen was sent to the rail while De Lima added more chips to his growing stack.
