Rice and Peppin Chip Up; Mark Allen Busts
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Mark Allen was pipped badly when he ran his pocket nines headlong into the pocket tens of Patrick Rice and wasn't able to improve. Rice had him barely covered and Allen was left with only two big blinds after the confrontation.
The Very Next Hand
Mark Allen was all in, in the big blind, when a raise from Stephen Peppin isolated him and Allen joked, "I don't believe you, I call," before turning his hand over.
Mark Allen: J♣9♥
Stephen Peppin: K♦Q♦
The board ran out 2♠K♣5♦J♠K♥, awarding the pot to Peppin with his three kings and sending a gracious Allen to the payouts desk.
