Alioto Survives All-in

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

We came on this one after all of the cards had been dealt and the counting of chips had begun. The result -- Dario Alioto scored a timely double-up. The board showed {Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, Alioto held {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{J-Spades}{2-Spades} (aces for high and a 7-5 low), and his opponent {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} (fours and a worse low).

As the chips were counted, Alioto's opponent confessed he'd thought he had a straight when the chips went in. Alioto is up over 30,000 now.
