Alsante Sucks Out to Take Commanding Lead
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Punnat Punsri limped in from the button and Matthew Alsante checked his option in the big blind.
The A♠4♠5♦ flop saw Alsante bet out for 2,000,000. Punsri raised to 6,000,000 and Alsante moved all in for 23,700,000. Punsri called.
Matthew Alsante: 7♠5♥ 
Punnat Punsri: A♣2♠
Alsante was behind but the 7♦ turn put him way out in front with two pair. The J♥ river changed nothing and Alsante found a game-changing double-up.
