Allen's Queens Reign Supreme
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Bryan Allen had an incredible run with two back-to-back hands. In the first, he went all in and was called by his neighbor, Michael Clacher. Allen revealed Q?10?, trailing Clacher’s K?K?.
The flop brought some hope for Allen with Q?4?6?, giving him a pair of queens but still behind Clacher's kings. The 3? turn didn’t change the situation, leaving Clacher in the lead. However, the river delivered the 10?, giving Allen two pair and knocking Clacher out of the tournament.
Immediately after, Allen found himself in another all-in situation, this time holding Q?Q? against his opponent's A?Q?. The queens held strong, eliminating another player and allowing Allen to nearly quintuple his stack in just two hands.
