Alonso Doubles Through Micallef
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The action was joined with roughly 14,000 already in the pot, and a 8♥7♥8♣ flop in the middle.
Mike Alonso had manoeuvred his remaining stack of 39,700 into the middle, and Matthew Micallef had him at risk.
Mike Alonso: Q♠Q♣
Matthew Micallef: 5♣5♥
The turn allowed Alonso to relax, as the Q♦ assured his double up. The inconsequential 4♦ completed the board, and the pot was pushed in the direction of Alonso.
