Alioto Gets River Value From Cowen
Level 17
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Dario Alioto raised to 24,000 and Javier Francort called, as did Robert Cowen and Vadim Zakharyan in the blinds. The four players checked the Q♣9♥7♣ flop and Cowen led the 3♥ turn for 128,000, which only Alioto called.
Cowen then checked the 5♥ on the river and Alioto bet 185,000. Burning through two time banks, Cowen called and Alioto showed the goods with the K♥K♦J♦4♥ for the king-high flush.
