All Downhill for Alioto

Dario Alioto seems to have used up his winning streak for the day and is now firmly on the way down, dropping down to around his starting stack after doubling up another tablemate.

This time it was the turn of Karsten Johansen. Alioto bet out on the {5-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} flop only for Johansen to announce all in. Alioto called and once again was massively behind, boasting {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} to Johansen's dominating {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. No nasty surprises for Johansen on the {6-Hearts} turn and {J-Spades} river, and he finds himself with an extremely comfortable 9,000 in chips.
