Alioto Eliminated After Pairing up Against Negreanu
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 18,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu opened to 30,000 from the cutoff and Dario Alioto three-bet to 296,000 from the big blind — leaving himself a single t-1,000 chip behind. Negreanu just called.
Both players drew one and Alioto checked to Negreanu, who bet to put Alioto all in.
Alioto tanked for as long as he could, but the floor gave him a clock and Alioto reluctantly called all in.
Negreanu announced, "King" and spread out Kx7x4x3x2x. Alioto showed 8x6x6x4x2x for a pair of sixes and was eliminated.
