And Alcober Gets It Right Back

Just a few hands after losing 75,000 to quads, we saw that Benjamin Alcober got pretty much all of it back. We don't know the exact action, but we know that Alcober and another player, who had about 70,000, got it all in on a flop of {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. His opponent held {a-}{k-} for top two pair, but it was no good, as Alcober showed {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for bottom set. We know the {5-Clubs} hit the turn, and while we didn't catch the river card, we know that it sealed the victory for Alcober.

Alcober collected the bounty, and shot right back up to 970,000.
