"Miles Ahead" Means Nothing
With 23,000 chips in the middle on the 
board, Daniel Alaei bet 14,000 and had 24,500 behind. Joe Hachem asked how much Alaei had behind, got a look at his stack and then announced that he was all in. Alaei quickly called to put himself at risk.
Alaei tabled the 
for top set and was up against the 
for Hachem.
It was announced that Alaei was "all in and miles ahead" by the tournament announcer before the dealer burned one last time and smacked the 
on the river. Hachem spiked his gutshot straight draw to win the hand and Alaei was sent out the door.
