I understand your point (also, do you think Allen would have paid Scott off on the turn if he had bet, considering that Allen's hand actually improved?) but Scott is checking the turn for a reason: It makes his flop play look suspect--like he was just trying to steal the pot. I really think checking the turn gives Allen ample opportunity and reason to represent a queen on the river. I'm sure there were other considerations inherent to the hand that neither of us are qualified to decipher.
