Alt Up to His Old Tricks
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dinesh Alt started the day with a shorter stack but has since been accumulating chips left and right. The latest addition to his growing tower came from a preflop contest in which he scored a fortunate knockout by sending Richard Alati to the rail.
Alati opened to 10,000 and Alt three-bet to 25,000. His opponent then jammed for 72,000 and Alt quickly called with the far bigger stack.
Richard Alati: 
Dinesh Alt: 
The 
flop further increased the lead of Alati with the nut flush draw. However, the 
turn gave the Swiss a pair of jacks and he retained the lead on the 
river.
