Alaei Can't Call
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
We picked up the action on the turn as the board showed . Daniel Alaei was heads up, and he check-called a bet of 19,200 from his opponent.
That brought them to the river, and Alaei's opponent fired 44,000 at the pot. That sent Daniel deep into the think tank for a few long minutes as he stared down the man across the table. Alaei eventually double-tapped his iPod and paused the music he had been listening to, cutting down his chips and eying up the potential damage to his stack. After another few minutes, he surrendered, dropping to about 160,000.
