Dario Alioto and Michael Malm were both in and contesting for a side pot heading to fifth street. Alioto led out on fifth and Malm folded his hand. The rest of the cards were drawn and Vitch was unable to conquer Alioto's trip jacks. He was sent to the rail while Alioto absorbed his chip stack.

Perhaps Crain will go back to folding it down in PLO, since it did for him exactly what he predicted it would: lost him chips.
