Out With Alaei

Daniel Alaei was all in preflop with {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}, and that's not a very good thing when your opponent calls with {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs}.

There was an ace on the flop! But, unfortunately, also an eight. The board ran {A-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {J-Spades}, and Alaei's day is done.

Daniel won another bracelet this year, his third overall, and that puts him in some fairly elite company. He won't be adding a fourth this year, though, not unless he plans on making the trip to London for the WSOPE in the fall.
