Alioto Forces Cowen River Fold
Level 16
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Javier Francort limped from early position, and Robert Cowen followed suit from the cutoff. Samuel Albeck completed in the small blind, and Dario Alioto checked his option.
On the A♦Q♦3♣ flop, action was checked to Cowen, who fired out a bet of 36,000. Only Alioto called.
The 7♥ turn followed the same pattern, this time in respect of a bet of 76,000 from Cowen.
On the 7♦ river, Alioto led out with a bet of 75,000, and after quite a bit of time for thought, Cowen folded.
