Round Three’s a Tie
We caught the third round of the Alvarado versus Liang battle and it was the Mexican who was in the big blind this time with Liang in the cutoff, for a pleasant change of pace.
There was already 80,000 in the pot with the community cards spread [
when we arrived and Alvarado had just led out for a bet of 25,000. The standard stare off competition began between the two and we’re not sure who won that round as Liang eventually slid in the call and it was off to the 
river.
Alvarado thought it over and checked it over to Liang, who also had a little think, before plonking down a bet of roughly 60,000 and Alvarado instantly threw in a single pink 25k chip to represent the call.
Liang turned over 
for a straight and Alvarado flipped over 
for an anti-climatic chop so the score is currently Liang 1, Alvarado 1 with 1 draw.
