Alioto Chops

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

From under the gun, Michael Weyer raised to 70,000 and was called by Christopher King on the button and Dario Alioto in the small blind. The flop came {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Alioto wasted little time moving all in for 220,000. Weyer thought for a minute or two before finally letting go of his hand. King took less time making his decision though: a call.

Alioto: {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
King: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Alioto needed to catch up and the {10-Diamonds} turn didn't quite get him there. The {7-Diamonds} river on the other hand, was good enough to chop the pot and stay alive giving both players a straight to the Jack.
