An early position player raised to 2,300 and action folded to Dario Alioto in the cutoff seat. He reraised to 5,500 and the early-position raiser came along.

The flop came {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

and both players checked. When the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

hit the turn, the early position player check-called Alioto's bet of 5,500.

The river fell the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

and again Alioto's opponent check-called his bet, this time for 9,000. Alioto showed {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Diamonds}

Alioto is now sitting with just under 55,000 in chips.
