Dario Alioto Eliminated in 2nd Place (�56,358)
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Dario Alioto raised to 300,000, Hokyiu Lee moved all in, and Alioto called for his last 615,000.
Dario Alioto: Q?7?6?4?
Hokyiu Lee: A?6?5?4?
Both players stood up to await the flop, which came 2?J?5?. Lee made a pair of fives, then picked up a flush draw on the K? turn to take away some of Alioto's outs heading to the river.
The dealer flipped over the 10? and Lee went over to embrace Alioto with a hug before going to celebrate his new gold WSOP bracelet with his rail, including defending champion Anson Tsang.
Alioto, more than 15 years after his lone WSOP bracelet, had to settle for a runner-up finish this time.
