Steve Allen Doubles Through Meredith Barrington


Carlos Loving raised to 2,000, Meredith Barrington (pictured above, left) three-bet to 4,200, and Steve Allen (pictured above, center) went all in for 11,225. Loving got out of the way and Barrington called to put Allen at risk.

Allen: KcKc
Barrington: KcKc

The board ran out KcKcKcKcKc. Allen turned a gut-shot straight draw to go with his overs, and hit the straight on the river to double through. Allen, who has had a good series so far with three cashes, including a win in the Seniors Event, is on his second bullet and battling hard.

Steve Allen - 25,000
Meredith Barrington - 27,500

Level - 9
Blinds - 400/800
Antes - 100
Remaining - 48/78

A Triple-KO for @BlueHoodiePoker

Image
There's a big crowd gathering around the middle table, what say we all go over and see what's taking place. Look, there's a bunch of players with all their stacks in the middle, and most of them are standing up behind their chairs. The only one seated is Corey Hochman (above), and there's a good reason, but I'll get to that in a minute. Preflop, raise, raise, raise, all-in, all-in, all-in, call ... four players are all-in. Player A -    Players B -    Mike Puccio -    What about Hochman, and why is he the only one sitting down? A) he has everyone covered. B) He has    The flop comes out      , top pair for Player A, backdoor Broadway draw for Player B, Puccio has a gutter straight draw, Hochman still has the best hand and picked up the best backdoor flush draw too. Turn is  , river is   and most all of the chips in the entire building go sliding towards Hochman. No, really, he's now not just the D...

Dan Loizzo makes it 20,00, then it is Ben Freeman from the SB making it 70,000 to go. Loizzo hesitates, sees with a call both players are going to have equal stacks a bit less than what's going to be in the pot. Yep, pretty good chance the chips get in the middle at some point in the hand if he calls. Loizzo finds a call, then both players check the J-5-3 flop. Freeman moves all in on the 8 turn and Loizzo slips in to the tank, weighing his potions. the dealer counts out the stack, 124,000, and Loizzo looks to be almost exactly the same. He finds the call, sees turn over AK .. and Loizzo shows QJ. The Jack holds and Loizzo has him covered by less than one SB. Freeman finishes 16th, cashing for $2,617. Loizzo moves to 400,000. Nikolaos Kalogris is out in 15th, cashing for $3,315 and some change. Level - 19 Blinds - 4k/8k Antes - 1k Remaining - 14/183 -- Dan Ross
