Stephan Nussrallah:
Though it was not entirely clear what order the board had been dealt, it is likely that Nussrallah had flopped a two pair that had been counterfeited on the turn, giving Allen the better two pair. As a result, heading to the river Allen was in a good spot to get the double. The rolled off the deck, however, improving Nussrallah to a full house and sending Allen home in brutal fashion.
