Alioto Fades World on Bubble
Nivel 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Piero Alioto had gotten his stack of 250,000 in preflop under the gun and had been looked up by Gabriel Cunha on the button, who had the covering stack. The cameras arrived and the cards were turned over.
Piero Alioto: J♥J♦ 
Gabriel Cunha: A♠K♠
Alioto was flipping for his tournament life on the bubble. The 5♠7♦Q♠ flop brought Cunha a flush draw, but the 9♣ turn and 2♣ river helped him no further.
Alioto doubled up and hand-for-hand play continued.
