Alioto Flying High

[user75032]
[user75032]
Dario Alioto is faring better in "extra time" than his footballing side, the Azzurri, did yesterday. Sitting in the big blind, Alioto called a raise from David Baker and drew one. "Yikes," said Baker as he passed in three cards.

After the draw was complete, Alioto bet. Baker quickly raised, and Alioto just as quickly reraised. Sighing, Baker made the call. Alioto stood pat while Baker took one. Again Alioto bet, and again Baker called. The third draw went the same as the second: Alioto pat; Baker one. One final bet and call, and Alioto showed an eight-seven. Baker peeked at his cards, then sent them in to the dealer.
