Dalessandri falling back

John Dalessandri, one of the few Australian players sitting around the top of the chip counts earlier today, has taken a hit. On a flop of {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

, Dalessandri raised enough to put most of his opponent's remaining 49,000 chips into the middle. The opponent came over the top all in and Dalessandri had little choice but to call the all in bet.

Dalessandri had work to do, tabling {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{k-Clubs}

to be up against the {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

of his opponent. The board ran out {q-Hearts}

{q-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

, taking a solid 60,000 chip bite out of his stack.

Dalessandri currently sits on 150,000.
