Dario Alioto Eliminated in 11th Place (�3,125)

Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In a button vs small blind confrontation, Andrei Shpak and Dario Alioto got the chips in the middle with the latter being at risk for around 1,000,000.
Dario Alioto: A?Q?10?7?
Andrei Shpak: A?A?J?5?
It didn't look good for Alioto and not much help arrived on the 2?6?8? flop, but he did pick up a gutshot straight draw. Only a nine would keep Alioto alive but neither the K? turn nor Q? river were the card he was looking for, and he was out in eleventh.
