Alioto Flops a Set
Level 21
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Robert Cowen min-raised the button to 80,000 with the K♣J♦10♥5♦ to pick up calls from Martin Kabrhel in the small blind who had the Q♣J♥7♦4♣, Dario Alioto came along from the big blind with A♣6♠6♥5♣.
The K♠10♠6♣ flop saw Kabrhel check and Alioto bet the pot for 280,000. Cowen laid down his top two pair and Kabrhel eyeballed the stack of his only remaining opponent with his open-ended straight draw before he let go as well.
