Alvarado Collects Some

Shirley Ang

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Rick Alvarado raised to 9,000 from the hijack and the player in the cutoff three-bet to 26,000. The players on the button and in the blinds folded so the action was back on Alvarado who called.

The flop came , Alvarado checked. His opponent bet 37,000 and Alvarado tanked for about three minutes. He then cut out calling chips and counted the remainder of his stack. Another minute later, Alvarado decided to shove for 163,500 extra on top of his opponent's bet. Now it was his opponent's turn to tank. After about two minuted, he decided to fold.
