Alsup Spikes River in a Massive Way
Level 43
: Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante
Richard Alsup got all in from the button, with his stack totalling 62,000,000. Salvatore Dicarlo was also all in from the big blind, covering his opponent, as well as holding a much superioir hand.
Richard Alsup: K♦Q♦
Salvatore Dicarlo: A♠A♣
Dicarlo had woken up with number one, and was in an incredible position to add to his lead, and achieve a ladder at the same time. The K♣5♥9♠ flop offered some hope to Alsup, who had five outs to miraculously survive. The 8♣ turn gave him one less street to get there, but his rail erupted upon seeing the K♠ river, as he cracked aces, doubled, and kept himself in contention for the seven-figure winning score.
