Williamson Busts Alaei

Shamus

Two of those who had been seated together at yesterday's famed Table No. 15 just butted heads in a hand before the break--and only one survived the encounter.

On flop of 2-7-9 rainbow, Daniel Alaei checked, Robert Williamson III bet 3,000, Alaei raised to 13,000, and Williamson called. Another deuce appeared on the turn, and Alaei pushed all in. Williamson called.

Alaei had K-J-9-8 for nines and deuces. Williamson had J-9-8-7 for nines and sevens. The river brought another seven for RW3, and Alaei was done.

Nijran is up to 104,000, while McKenna is at 120,000.
