Grinder of the Day

Young Brit Kevin Allen was doing some very impressive grinding today -- he spent most of the day on a stack somewhere between 40,000 and 60,000, yikes.

He'd managed to claw his way up to around 100,000 when he saw a flop in a blind on blind confrontation -- said flop was {A-?} {10-?} {6-?} with two hearts on it. Looking down at {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts}, Allen led out for 8,000 only for the big blind to make it 22,000. Allen pushed, the big blind called, and Allen was horrified to discover that his opponent was holding {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. But an offsuit five on the river, and Allen's up to 200,000, not far off the average.
