Grau Leaves Alioto on Fumes
Level 4
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dario Alioto raised to 3,200 in the cutoff before Tim Grau three-bet to 15,000 from the small blind. Alioto called and they went heads-up to a 5♠2♥4♥ flop.
Grau then continued for 8,000 and Alioto called. Both players checked the 10♦ turn.
The river came the K♥ and Grau asked to see Alioto's remaining stack before tossing out two blue 25,000 chips for a bet of 50,000. Alioto, who barely had more in his stack, burned through several time banks before he called.
Grau turned over A♠A♥6♥3♦ for the nut flush and Alioto mucked, leaving himself with just one 500 chip behind.
