Rough Start for Alioto
Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Hadar Hason raised to 5,500 under the gun. It folded to Dario Alioto, who defended his big blind. Hason continued for 11,000 on the 5♦8♦Q♣ flop, which Alioto check-called.
The 2♣ turn was then checked by both players before Alioto knuckled the table on the J♦ river as well. Hason decided on a small bet of 8,000, and Alioto called after some thought.
Hason showed K♠K♥Q♦3♦ for a flush, and Alioto mucked his cards as he was left with about half a starting stack.
