Alioto Adds to Stack

Jacobo Fernandez limped, Ted Forrest completed from the small blind, and Dario Alioto checked from the big blind. The flop came {8-Diamonds}

, and Forrest quickly bet 60,000. Alioto called, and Fernandez folded.

The turn brought the {A-Spades}

. Forrest slid out two stacks -- 160,000. Alioto stood up to get a better look at Forrest's chips, then sat back down to think. Finally he extracted 160,000 from his impressive fortress of chips and made the call.

The river brought the {7-Hearts}

, and both quickly checked.

Forrest showed 8-7-x-x for eights and sevens, but Alioto had A-8-x-x for the better two pair.
