Aliev Picks Up Crucial Pot
Level 30
: 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Dashgyn Aliev has been playing an onorthodox short-stack style but so far it has been working for the Russian player. Daniel-Gai Pidun raised to 200,000 from early position and Aliev called from the small blind with just a few big blinds behind.
Flop brought 
and Aliev checked to Pidun who bet 160,000. Aliev took some time and check-raised all in after which Pidun snap-folded. Aliev picked some chips to bring him a lot closer to Julian Thomas
