Dario Alioto was just all in versus big stack Marco Johnson. Alioto's cards ran out 
against Johnson's 
. Alioto was able to stave elimination by making a low while Johnson took the high. The one good thing about this event is that you can stay alive with two chances, one at the high and one at the low.
Alioto is back to 20,000 and Johnson's sitting on 124,000.
