Not long after the break and David Allan has taken a big chip lead over Ken Demlakian. It all started with Allan first winning a small pot holding 
and going to showdown on a 
board.
The big hand that played out started with Allan limping the button and Demlakian checking. On the 
flop, Demlakian checked and then raised to 110,000 after Allan bet 40,000. Allan called and then both players checked the turn and an 
was dealt on the river. Demlakian led for 120,000 here and Allan quickly made the call.
Demlakian turned over his 
, which went straight into the muck when Allan turned over 
for flopped top pair and rivered trips.
