Alsup Looks Dicarlo Up; Regains Chip Lead
Level 46
: Blinds 4,000,000/8,000,000, 8,000,000 ante
Richard Alsup limped in with Q♠5♥ and Salvatore Dicarlo checked his option holding 7♠4♥. He then led for 8,000,000 on the 5♠8♦3♠ flop, and Alsup opted to raise with his middle pair, choosing 25,000,000 as his sizing. Dicarlo called, bringing in the 8♠ turn.
Dicarlo checked in flow, and Alsup checked back, prompting the dealer to put out the J♦ river. Dicarlo then fired out a near pot-sized bluff to the tune of 65,000,000. Alsup thought for quite a while, but eventually sniffed it out and made a very good call with his fives.
