Jones Gets it Back from Allen

Level 25 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of 4?10?4?, the pot had around 450,000 in it when Jesse Jones check-called a bet of 150,000 from Andre Allen.

The turn came out the 5? and both players decided to check and saw the 4? fall on the river.

Jones then bombed 540,000 into the pot, putting the pressure on Allen who went deep into the tank.

After a good minute or so of deliberation, he set out a stack of chips and made the call. He was then shown 10?5? by Jones for a full house (fours full of tens), and Allen quickly mucked.

"I had pocket sevens, I thought you just had a five," Allen admitted as Jones was pushed the sizeable pot.

"I'm done messing with you on your big blind," Allen continued, which got a smile from Jones.

Matthew Snook Eliminated in 8th Place ($12,719)

Level 25 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Matt Snook
Matt Snook

On a heads-up completed board of 5?A?Q?2?2?, there was around 500,000 in the pot when Matthew Snook moved all in for 550,000.

The action was then on Andre Allen, who went deep into the tank. After a good while, he finally flicked in a chip to put Snook at risk.

Snook rolled over 8?5? for two-pair, fives and deuces, but then Allen rolled over K?K? for a much bigger two pair to win the hand, eliminating Snook in 8th place.

Joseph McCaig Eliminated in 9th Place ($9,574)

Level 25 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Joseph McCaig
Joseph McCaig

Short-stacked Joseph McCaig moved all in preflop and was called by Jason Brin to put him at risk of elimination.

Joseph McCaig: Q?8?
Jason Brin: K?K?

McCaig was going to need a lot of help to stay alive, but on the turn board of 5?3?2?10? he was left drawing dead and the meaningless 10? on the river sealed his fate as he exited in 9th place as the first final table casualty.

Allen and Jones Battle

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jesse Jones opened to 125,000 under-the-gun and was called by Andre Allen in the cutoff.

The flop came out 4?5?5? and Jones continued for 60,000. Allen then raised him to 200,000 but Jones decided to click back to 340,000. Allen thought about it for a second before making the call and the two went to the turn Q?.

Both players decided to check and went to the river 3?. Jones checked once more, to which Allen responded by moving all in for his remaining 300,000 and Jones promptly folded to award him the pot.
