Setback for Alioto

After flourishing early doors, last year's Omaha winner Dario Alioto has been bashed down to 7,500 after an unfortunate beat. With his man dominated, Alioto's {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} was in good shape against {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} on a {J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop, but after a harmless {8-Spades} turn, the river brought a {K-Clubs} to form a minor dent in the Italian's stack.
