Alioto Doubles Through Hurey

Level 21

Pot-Limit Omaha

Michael Hurey opened to 15,000 from the cutoff, and Dario Alioto potted from the button.

"Alright, let's do this," Hurey said, sliding out a stack of pink T5,000 chips to indicate a reraise. Alioto called off.

Hurey: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Alioto: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The flop brought {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}, and the turn and river were {2-Hearts} and {5-Diamonds}. All the babies on board meant the aces stood, and Hurey was forced to double Alioto up.

Wattel Doubles in Limit Hold'em

Level 21

Limit Hold'em

Mike Wattel raised the cutoff and it folded to Marco Johnson's small blind. He three-bet and it came back around to Wattel. Eventually they capped the action which left Wattel with just 3,500 behind. Johnson bet him all in dark before the flop and Wattel called.

Johnson: {A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Wattel: {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Wattel found top pair on the {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop and was able to dodge Johnson making two pair or trips as the {3-Clubs} turned and the {7-Spades} rivered. Wattel was able to double to about 80,000.

Level 21
Eric Crain swept up one of the biggest pots yet.
Eric Crain swept up one of the biggest pots yet.

Stud

Chris Reslock fired out on fourth street after he, Dario Alioto and Eric Crain each put in four bets initially. Reslock had a king-ace, Crain had a jack-queen, and Alioto had a deuce-four. Alioto raised and Crain called, as did Reslock.

Fifth street brought a five for Alioto, an eight for Crain, and a ten for Reslock. Crain took the lead, betting the final three streets, and both players called down until Alioto mucked after all the cards.

Crain: {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}/{j-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Reslock: {x-}{x-}{x-}/{k-Hearts}{a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Alioto: {x-}{x-}{x-}/{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Crain dragged the massive pot with his straight.
