Alsup Triples Up
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Rich Alsup raised to 2,000 from middle position and was called by Monte Hardinger in late position. Then Taylor Howard in the cutoff raised the price of poker to 7,000 and action folded back around to Alsup.
Apparently this amount was still not enough as Alsup then ripped it all in for 18,800 and Hardinger followed suit for less. Howard quickly made the call and the cards were tabled, with Howard covering.
Monte Hardinger: 
Rich Alsup: 
Taylor Howard: 
Alsup was a favorite going into this matchup, and the board of 
kept him in the lead as he scored a big triple up as Hardinger was eliminated.
