Zanasi and Alioto Lead the Way
Level 7
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Massimiliano Zanasi scored a knockout to climb all the way to half a million and Dario Alioto nearly followed suit after a clash with Harry Casagrande. In an already loaded pot, the J♠5♥3♣7♥4♥ board showed and Casagrande checked.
Alioto bet 75,000 on the button and Casagrande tank-called to get shown the A♣K♦K♥Q♥ for the king-high flush by Alioto, which won the pot.
