It's not been the greatest of World Series of Poker's for popular British pro Kevin Allen, mainly due to some terrible luck in some of the earlier events. So far in this event things seem to be evening out because as we approach the final break of the day and head rapidly towards the money places, Allen has 16,300 chips in front of him.
We caught a simple hand with Allen that saw him open to 1,500 from the small blind and win the blinds and antes. They all count when all is said and done.

We mentioned earlier that a large pot could be brewing between Arnaud Mattern and Sunny Chattha and although it hasn't quite happened yet, it is surely only a matter of time before it does.
Chattha raised from under the gun to 1,700 and Mattern was next to act. Mattern reraised to 4,000 and Chattha let his hand go.
A couple of hands later Chattha had the button and raised to 1,700 when first to act. Mattern put out a slightly larger three-bet of a shade over 5,000 and again Chattha relinquished his hand.
