Alcober Flirting With a Million

After taking down a few pots with just a preflop raise, the action folded to Benjamin Alcober, who raised to 7,000 from the small blind. The player in the big blind three-bet to 22,000, and Alcober clicked it back (kind of), making it 36,000. The player called.

The flop fell {5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, and Alcober led out for 27,800. His opponent folded, and Alcober is getting closer and closer to a million chips.
