Dario Does the Deed
It rolls out . Romero bet out 36,000 and Alioto raised to 144,000. With a little gamble in their eyes, both Rasmussen and Romero made the call, both all in and at risk of elimination. With the betting complete, the hands were turned up:
Romero:
Alioto:
Rasmussen:
The turn brought a nice hit for Alioto when the popped off, giving him triple nines with an ace kicker. The river missed everyone, and Alioto dragged in a huge pot, knocking off two players and moving way up the board to 450,000 -- squarely in second place.
