Charlie: Alpha

Charlie Ciresi is up to an impressive 120,000 after a big double up.

He called a standard raise, as did the big blind, and the three players saw a {6-?} {8-?} {10-?} flop, at which point all hell broke loose. The original raiser bet around 8,500, and Ciresi made it another 20,000 to go. The big blind then moved all in and although the original raiser tanked for a while, he passed. Ciresi called and they were on their backs:

Ciresi: {10-?} {10-?} for top set
Big blind: {10-?} {8-?} for top two pair

Apparently, Julian Thew had been holding pocket sixes but folded preflop. A lucky escape for the Thewster there...
