John Dalessandri
The action hasn't been lacking in the Crown Poker Room today. Another big pot developed at John Dalessandri's table. He called the 15,200-chip all-in bet of an early-position player before big blind Larry Karambis moved all in for 65,000. Dalessandri gave the second raise a fair amount of thought before calling that one as well. The players revealed the following hands:

Dalessandri:
Karambis:
Dalessandri was in the lead for the main pot (roughly 50,000 chips) and the side pot (another 100,000). The flop brought an ace to severely curb Dalessandri's chances for the main pot. The turn blanked , but a roar erupted from the room when the case king fell on the river to give Dalessandri the best hand in both pots. He knocked both players out and climbed to 215,000.
"Yes!" cried Joe Hachem, jumping up from his chair and pumping his fist. "I have nothing on him," he quickly explained. "I'm just happy for him."
