Maker Makes Top Pair

Dario Alioto, although still very much the table big stack, seems somewhat irked after doubling up the table short stack Dimps Maker. The chips went in on a {K-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} flop and Maker was miles ahead with {K-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} against Alioto's {K-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}. The {8-Clubs} on the turn gave Alioto a few more outs but a harmless {3-Hearts} on the river kept a clearly delighted Maker in the game with a below-average but thoroughly manageable 4,800.
