Forrest Thinning

Ted Forrest completed from the small blind, and Dario Alioto checked his option from the big blind.

The flop came {K-Clubs}

. Forrest bet 40,000. Alioto, interest seemingly piqued by that two-thirds pot bet, called.

The turn was the {3-Hearts}

. Forrest bet 85,000 this time, again just about two-thirds the pot. Alioto called again.

The river was the {2-Spades}

. This time Forrest checked. Without much delay, Alioto bet 240,000. Forrest, with only 292,000 behind, let it go.
