Alioto Dodges the River to Double
Level 23
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Tobias Andersen raised to 525,000 on the button and Dario Alioto reraised to 900,000 in the big blind. Andersen then moved all in and Alioto paused for a moment to check what was happening at the other table before calling for 1,125,000.
Dario Alioto: A♥10♥9♥8♣ 
Tobias Andersen: K♠Q♠9♣2♣
Alioto hit top pair on the A♣7♥4♠ flop, but Andersen picked up straight and flush draws on the J♠ turn. "That's a sweat," Alioto said.
The river 8♣ was safe for Alioto and he doubled up.
