Alsup Turns the Goods
Level 45
: Blinds 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante
Richard Alsup limped in with Q♥10♦ and Salvatore Dicarlo checked back 6♥6♣. The 2♥4♣9♠ flop checked through, bringing in the A♠ on the turn. Here, Dicarlo led out for 6,000,000 and Alsup stuck around to see the 7♠ river. Action checked through again, and Dicarlo claimed the pot.
A few hands later, Alsup limped 7♠7♥ and Dicarlo checked 9♦8♠ back. He then flopped best on 5♣J♥9♠ and check-raised Alsup's 6,000,000 bet to 16,000,000. Alsup called, and binked a set as the dealer put out the 7♣ turn.
Dicarlo continued for 20,000,000, and Alsup just flatted the bet. The river 4♦ changed nothing, and Dicarlo put in a tiny bet of 6,000,000. Alsup sprung a raise on him, opting for 55,000,000 as his sizing. Dicarlo tank-called, and saw the bad news.
