Luigi D'Alterio raised to 120,000 from the cutoff, Sokratis Linaras three-bet to 315,000 on the button and D'Alterio called.

The J♥ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Linaras sized up to 410,000.

The river landed the K♠ and D'Alterio checked again. Linaras bet enough to put D'Alterio all in for his effective stack of approximately 1,000,000. D'Alterio spent several minutes in the tank before finally folding.
