Alaei Gets There

A player in middle position raised to 650 and the player in the cutoff called. Daniel Alaei popped it to 1,900 on the button, but chased away neither opponent.

The flop fell {J-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades} and it was checked to Alaei. He bet 2,150, getting calls from both opponents. The {4-Clubs} landed on the turn saw similar action with both opponents check-calling 5,500 from Alaei. The river was the {A-Spades} and all three checked. The middle-position player showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, but was bested by Alaei's {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.
