Alioto Asks the Dealer for a Five
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A player in early position raised to 3,000, Csoti Sebestyen called on the button and Piero Alioto moved all in for 25,500, from the big blind. The original raiser folded and Sebestyen called.
Piero Alioto: 5♣5♥
Csoti Sebestyen: K♦J♠
"Five please dealer" asked Alioto despite already being ahead. The dealer obliged as the flop came A♥5♠10♠. The J♣ and 9♠ runout changed nothing and Alioto doubled up.
