Saliba Works River Magic on Alioto
Level 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Dario Alioto bet 17,000 from early position on a flop of 4?6?K? and Vivian Saliba called in the hijack, as did small blind Barny Boatman.
The turn was the 3? and Alioto shoved his last 50,000 in the middle. Saliba called all in for 35,000, and Boatman mucked.
"What do I have to beat," Saliba asked as Alioto showed 7?7?6?4? for two pair. Saliba turned over A?J?J?5? for a flush draw.
The river came the Q? and Saliba hit her flush to double up and leave Alioto on a short stack.
