Jorgensen Picks Off Alioto
Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With the board reading 8♣A♥Q♣A♠K♠ and around 180,000 already in the middle, Dario Alioto bet 125,000 from the small blind, enough to put Theo Jorgensen all-in from the button. Jorgensen used a time extension before calling with his remaining stack of 107,500, putting himself at risk.
Alioto could only show K♦Q♥10♦9♠ for two pair and blockers to the top two full houses. Jorgensen turned over A♣10♣9♣8♦ for aces full of eights to double up through Alioto.
