Alfonso Resumes Domination

by Tricia David • January 16, 2026 - 4:45 AM

Billy Alfonso continued from where he left off at Flight D, knocking out players to be a constant threat at the table. 

Hand opened with Yu Chang open-shoving from cutoff and small blind Alfonso tank-called with a pair on hand. Chang had overcards and was flipping for his tournament life. 

Yu Chang: A ♥️ Q ♥️

Billy Alfonso: 9 ♠️ 9 ♦️

The flop 3 ♦️ 6 ♥️ J ♠️ were no help to Chang while the turn 10 ♥️ gave him hope however that all vanished on the river 5 ♣️ to end his run in 75th place.
