Dario Alioto Doubles Up

[user25067]

THE FIFTY-- Dario Alioto's stack has been running dangerously low over the last couple of hours and he just got a much needed double-up... though he still has a ways to go.

On a flop of {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

, Alioto bet 1,050 of his remaining 2,050 and got a call from Julius Colman. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

and Alioto tossed his one remaining yellow 1,000 chip into the pot. Colman called and turned over {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

, but Alioto was in the lead with {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

. The river was the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

and Alioto doubled up to just under 6,000.

We also couldn't help but notice that Alioto is wearing the WSOP bracelet he won only two nights ago in the £5,000 PLO event.
