On 2010-12-30 23:50 (UT) (MJD=55560.97), MAXI/GSC transient-alert system detected a flaring event from the position consistent with Algol (Beta Persei). The source flux in 2-20 keV band had been below 10 mCrab until the previous MAXI/GSC scan transit at 22:19 (UT) (MJD=55560.91). It was then found to be 101+-14 mCrab in the scan transit at 23:50 (UT). It is at the level of brightest X-ray flares from this source.
