Alaei is Good

[user66118]

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

A player in early position opened to 1,700, and Daniel Alaei three-bet to 4,200. On the button, another player cold four-bet to 9,500, folding the initial raiser without incident. Alaei was undeterred though, shoving in for the 19,600 chips his opponent had left. The call came, and Alaei was in good shape.

Showdown
Alaei: {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

The flop came {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} to put Mr. Opponent in a big hole, but he did have four outs to the gutterball to try and chase down. The turn {2-Spades} was a blank though, and the {4-Hearts} on the river was not the six he was looking for. Alaei sends one to the rail, upping his count to about 87,000 in the process.
