Alioto Loses a Few
Dario Alioto has just rumbled with a player at his table, losing a fair chunk of his chips in the process. The hand in question started when the under the gun player raised to 150 preflop. Alioto then three-bet to 525 from the small blind and it was back on the under the gun player. He then four-bet shoved his short stack and Alioto made the call.
Alioto:     |
Opponent:    |
The 
board was no good for Alioto, with his opponent raking in all the chips with a scooped pot, while Alioto took a hit to his stack. Despite losing that hand, Alioto still has slightly more than he started the day, sitting with 3,300 in chips on the felt and two lammers.
