Alvarado Battling Back
It appears the Mexico’s JC Alvarado was unable to keep up the blistering run of form he closed out Day 1E with and his 215,000-plus stack has shrunk a little, but he has just padded it out some courtesy of Weicong Tang.
It was Alvarado who was the pre-flop raiser, making it 2,600 to go from middle postion and Tang (button) and Korea’s Jeong Won Seo (big blind) made the call to take the action three-way to a flop of .
Both Seo and Alvarado checked and Tang took a stab of 4,000 from the button. Seo made a quick fold, but Alvarado was going nowhere and slid in the call to take the action heads-up to the turn.
The Mexican checked once more and Tang shot him surreptitious side long glance and checked it back. The river saw Alvarado lead for the first time in the hand since his pre-flop raise and threw out a bet of 8,500 and Tang folded immediately.
