No One Wants to Tangle With Alioto
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Barny Boatman raised to 50,000 in early position and Dario Alioto called in the cutoff. Pavel Izotov then three-bet to 210,000 in the big blind and both opponents called.
The flop came Q♦5♠10♠ and Izotov checked. Boatman also checked and Alioto fired out 325,000.
Izotov quickly mucked, but Boatman grabbed the chips to call and tossed them around in his hand for a few moments before also throwing his cards away.
