The action was folded to Dario Alioto on the button and he made it 30,000 to go. Steven Burkholder called from the big blind and they both checked a flop of {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}. The {K-Diamonds} on the turn brought two more checks, and the river fell the {3-Clubs}. Burkholder took a stab at the pot for 45,000 and Alioto folded. Burkholder took it down, increasing his stack to 295,000. Alioto is now at 276,000.

On the following hand, Jonathan Tare opened for 30,000 from late position and An Tran called from the big blind. The flop came down {J-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} and Tran checked over to Tare, who bet 35,000. Tran folded and Tare took it down. He's up to 665,000 while Tran is at 420,000.
