Undeterred by his apparent inability to get anything through so far today, Mats Gavatin raised to 3,200 from the hijack and, big surprise, got a call from Howard Lederer on the button. Over to Dario Alioto in the big blind, who reraised to 13,300, obviously. Gavatin sighed. He eyed up Alioto's stack, which comprised of only 7,500 chips behind, indicating that he meant business. He then went all in. Lederer swiftly got out of their way, Alioto agreed the obvious call, and they were on their backs.
Alioto: for double-suited aces
Gavatin: for an interesting sort of nothing with a lot of straight potential and the like
Board:
It looked as though what may have been a desperate sort of move born of frustration had paid off for Gavatin -- he made two pair to knock out Alioto. Gavatin is back up to 60,000, and with the elimination of Alioto, we are now on the bubble.
