Level 3

Dario Alioto: 10x6x5x/8x2xAx3x
Ren Lin: XxXx/Ax10x9x7x/Xx
Yuval Bronshtein: XxXx/Kx8xJx - folded on fifth street

Three players saw fifth street, where Dario Alioto bet and Ren Lin made the call. Yuval Bronshtein got out of the way before Alioto fired again on sixth street.

"Drawing dead," said Lin before tossing in the call. Alioto then bet in the dark as his final cards was being dealt. Lin slowly peeled his last card before announcing a raise. Alioto quickly reraised, putting the pressure back on Lin.

After taking some time, the call was made. Alioto showed his six-five, taking down a sizeable pot as Lin mucked.
