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.
