Allacher Doubles Through Sheils, Grimes Out
Scott Allacher opened the action with a raise to 18,000 from under the gun, picking up calls from Alberto Destrade and Harlan Karnofsky. When the action reached Brandon Sheils in the hijack, he pumped it up to 80,000.
On the button, Sean Grimes had just 70,000 left and moved all in. The blinds got out of the way, but Destrade, Karnofsky, and Allacher all called the three-bet, giving Grimes a chance to multiply his stack.
The flop came K♠6♦7♠, and Allacher immediately shoved for 137,000. Destrade and Karnofsky quickly folded, but Sheils called, taking the hand to a three-way showdown.
Sean Grimes: A♠Q♣
Scott Allacher: 7♥7♣
Brandon Sheils: Q♠J♠
Allacher had flopped a set, leaving Grimes needing running cards and Sheils looking for spades. The 4♥ turn brought no help, and the J♥ river sealed the pot for Allacher, who scored a huge double. Unfortunately for Grimes, his Main Event run ended.
