Allen Wakes Up With Aces, Runs Into...Aces

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, Michael Allen reraised to 29,000 before the flop an small blind Ben Shitrit called.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Shitrit checked over to Allen, who continued for 22,000. Shitrit moved all in and Allen snap-called for around 80,000.

Both players turned over the same hand, Allen with {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and Shitrit with {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. The board ran out {5-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and they split the pot.

"Cooler," tablemate Denis Matafonov joked after the hand.
