Alioto Fails to Find a Two-Outer, Gets Eliminated
Level 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.
