Alioto Runs Into a Full House
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Hokyiu Lee raised to 250,000 on the button and Dario Alioto called.
Both players checked the 6?7?4? flop and Alioto also checked the 7? turn. Lee then fired out 350,000.
Alioto called and the Q? fell on the river. Lee bet another 1,100,000 and Alioto snap-called with 8?5?5?3? for a flopped straight.
Lee, though, had 8?7?6?6? for a full house as he took the big pot right at the start of heads-up play and opened a substantial lead.
