Dario Alioto just scooped up a nice early pot here against two opponents. He raised with the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

showing, and got called in two places.

Alioto: (X) (X) {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

(X)
Seat 1: (X) (X) {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

(X)
Seat 7: (X) (X) {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

(X)

Alioto had the lead the whole way, and made a bet on every street. Both of his opponents were calling him down until seat one ducked out on sixth street. Seat seven went all the way to showdown though, but mucked his hand when Alioto turned up {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{6-Clubs}

{A-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

. His pair of aces was good for the high, and he took the other half with his six low.
