Alioto Fails to Find a Two-Outer, Gets Eliminated
Niveau 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Alexandre Fournier raised to 50,000 from the hijack and Piero Alioto three-bet the cutoff to 150,000. Rania Nasreddine then four-bet from the small blind to 500,000. Fournier folded, and Alioto committed his stack of 445,000 to the pot which left him at risk.
Piero Alioto: 9♠9♣ 
Rania Nasreddine: J♦J♣
The flop of A♥Q♦K♦ changed nothing, and neither did the 6♥ turn as Alioto was down to his last chance of survival. No help arrived on the 4♥ river which meant Alioto was eliminated with the rest of his chips being added to Nasreddine's stack.
