Dario Alioto Eliminated in 2nd Place (€138,800)
Level 27
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Dario Alioto limped the button before Renji Mao made it 360,000 from the big blind. Dario Alioto limp-raised to 1,080,000, and after a few moments, Mao jammed, covering Alioto. Alioto called for his stack of 3,300,000.
Dario Alioto: A♣K♣J♠6♣ 
Renji Mao: A♦A♠K♥J♣
Alioto was in rough shape against the aces of Mao and needed some help from the dealer to keep the tournament heads-up.
A flop of 4♠Q♣5♠ kept Mao in the lead and meant Alioto needed running cards to survive. The 5♥ turn left Alioto drawing dead as the 4♦ completed the board.
Alioto congratulated Mao with a handshake before making his way to the payout desk, while Mao lifted his arms in triumph as the champion of Event #8 €5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha.
