After the beat that knocked Tom out of the tournament, Tim, in the short stack, thanked Allan for vaulting him up to second in the standings. “Anywhere you want to eat, I’m buying,” says Tim.
Heads up started with Tim holding 4,375,000 and Allan 12,175,000 in chips. It only lasted a few hands.
Tim raised to 500,000, Allan went all in and Tim called.
Tim: {Ac}{6c}
Allan: {7c}{7h}
Board: {8d}{Kc}{5s}{9d}{8h}
No surprises here: Allan was ahead and stayed ahead. Tim is out in second and wins $30,341. Prior to this, he had won almost $40,000 in tournaments, so this nearly doubles his total. And, this is his first finish higher than 7th besides. Congratulations for Tim’s second place finish.
