Dario Alioto Eliminated in 12th Place ($9,580)

John Phan is on a massive rush. He crippled Dario Alioto by making an eight-seven to beat Alioto's 10, then finished Alioto off two hands later when Alioto was all in for his last 4,500. Phan was the only caller. Alioto drew 3, then 3, then let out a disgusted laugh and drew 2. Phan drew two, then one, then stood pat with 9-8-5-3-2. Alioto held 9-3-2 in his own hand, but opened a king and a deuce as his last two cards.

He earns $9,580 for his 12th place finish.
