Alvarado Busts Ivey and Leow
Level 12
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Phil Ivey opened to 5,500 and JC Alvarado raised, making it 22,000. Ivan Leow was short stacked in the blinds and he moved all in for 18,000. Action folded back to Ivey who moved all in over the top for roughly 40,000 and Alvarado called both shoves with his covering stack.
Phil Ivey: 
JC Alvarado: 
Ivan Leow: 
The flop was safe for Ivey when it came down 
but the 
on the turn was a heartbreaker, giving Leow top pair. The 
on the river would vault Alvarado into the lead and he sent both players to the rail after making a pair of aces.
