A Lot for Alaei

When we reached Table 12, the dealer had already spread the flop 
.
A player in the small blind led out for 1,250 into a raised pot. Daniel Alaei thought for a bit then raised to 3,000 straight. His opponent called.
Both players checked the 
on the turn, and after the 
rivered Alaei's opponent led for 4,750.
Alaei sat calm, riffling a few yellow T1,000 chips with his right hand. Finally, he grabbed the majority of his stack and plopped it in the middle, raising to 15,000. His opponent sat up in his chair, genuinely baffled at the raise. After sweating and re-sweating his cards numerous times, he finally folded.
Alaei is off to a nice start and now sits with 27,000 chips.
