Alonzo Walks Away... and Wins!
Level 11
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With Dennis Alonzo already all in from the big blind, Abel Valle and Michael McDonough battled for a side pot on the Q♣6♣J♣ flop. Valle checked to McDonough, who announced all in.
Valle quickly folded, leaving Alonzo heads-up for his tournament life.
Dennis Alonzo: A♣J♦
Michael McDonough: K♥K♦
"Let's see if I have a club," Alonzo said as he tabled his pair and nut flush draw. The 7♥ turn was no help, and Alonzo began to walk away from the table.
The dealer flipped over the 9♣ river, completing Alonzo's flush to beat McDonough's kings for the triple-up.
