Grau Leaves Alioto on Fumes
Level 4
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dario Alioto raised to 3,200 in the cutoff before Tim Grau three-bet to 15,000 from the small blind. Alioto called and they went heads-up to a 5?2?4? flop.
Grau then continued for 8,000 and Alioto called. Both players checked the 10? turn.
The river came the K? and Grau asked to see Alioto's remaining stack before tossing out two blue 25,000 chips for a bet of 50,000. Alioto, who barely had more in his stack, burned through several time banks before he called.
Grau turned over A?A?6?3? for the nut flush and Alioto mucked, leaving himself with just one 500 chip behind.
