A Welcome Double for Ward

Kevin Allen min-raised to 8,000 from early position only to have Kyle Ward move all in from middle position for 45,500. Action folded back to Allen and he made an unenthusiastic call.

Showdown
Allen: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Ward: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop wasn't very exciting, and Allen would need some help to eliminate his foe. The dealer burned and turned a paint card, but it was the inconsequential {J-Diamonds}. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {9-Hearts} on the river, giving Ward a welcome double.
