Alioto Checks Back a Set
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Patrik Jaros limped under the gun, and Eran Carmi completed from the small blind. Dario Alioto checked his option from the big blind and the three players saw a flop of 5♦2♦A♥, which checked through.
Carmi led out for 40,000 upon seeing the J♥ turn, and only Alioto called.
Check-check came after the 4♣ river and Carmi showed two pair with A♠K♠5xXx. Alioto had that beat with a set of aces holding A♦A♣Q♦8♦, and the pot went over to him.
