Chris Allen opened to 25,000 from the Hi-jack. Action folded to reigning champion Ion Oprea; Oprea inspected his opponent’s stack carefully before forcing Allen all in for 146,000. Allen made the call as fast as humanly possible.
Ion Oprea: A♠J♥
Chris Allen: Q♥Q♠
Allen’s ladies stood the test of time as the board spelled out 9♠6♠K♣4♠10♦, and Allen received a full double-up.
