Set for D'Alessio
Level 29
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Ferdinando D'Alessio opened to 175,000 with Q♥Q♦ under the gun, and Jason Barton called with 10♠10♣ from the small blind.
On the K♥Q♣9♠ flop, Barton check-raised to 350,000 versus a bet of 125,000 from D'Alessio.
D'Alessio thought it through before three-betting to 1,025,000. Barton gave it a brief period of thought but eventually let it go, wisely against D'Alessio's set.
