Allen Out in Two

Laura Fryer

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Players were already on a 7?10?9? flop when Yassine Baqal raised from the cutoff and Michael Allen moved all in for around 35,000 from the big blind. Baqal called and the players flipped their cards.

Yassine Baqal: 9?10? All in
Michael Allen: Q?Q?

Baqal had flopped two pair and Allen was looking to improve. The K? gave some hope for Allen, but he missed the straight draw when the 5? was placed on the river.

He was left with around 600 chips and was nearly forced all in on the next hand, being in the small blind.

Michael Allen: 10?3?
Opponent: J?J?

Allen quickly stood after seeing the J?8?8? flop, and was seen leaving the tournament as the 10? turn and 8? river were placed on the table.
