"This Table Is Unlucky"
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
The six finalists asked to move to the main feature table after dinner break. From his new seat, Dario Alioto limped from the button. Zdenek Zizka in the small blind limped as well, so Salih Atac only had to check his option to discover a flop of 8♠3♣3♥.
After two checks, Alioto bet 50,000 and was only called by Zizka. They both checked the Q♦ turn and the 5♥ river, and Zizka won the pot with K♥10♥3♠2♠ (trip treys).
In the next hand, Dario Alioto, in the cutoff, raised to 100,000. Renji Mao defended from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 10♣6♥3♥ and Alioto continued for 65,000. Mao, however, check-raised to 250,000 and made Alioto fold.
“I changed my mind, this table is unlucky,” Alioto joked as Mao was pulling the pot towards him.
