Alsante Sucks Out to Take Commanding Lead
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Punnat Punsri limped in from the button and Matthew Alsante checked his option in the big blind.
The A?4?5? flop saw Alsante bet out for 2,000,000. Punsri raised to 6,000,000 and Alsante moved all in for 23,700,000. Punsri called.
Matthew Alsante: 7?5? 
Punnat Punsri: A?2?
Alsante was behind but the 7? turn put him way out in front with two pair. The J? river changed nothing and Alsante found a game-changing double-up.
