Alvarez's Mood Goes From Delight to Dismay as Bastida Scoops Three-Way All In
A three-way all in pot played out between Cristian Alvarez, Nicola Spallanzani, and Juan Bastida with two of the players sharing the same hand.
Juan Bastida: A?K? 
Cristian Alvarez: Q?Q?
Nicola Spallanzani: A?K?
It was a dream scenario for Alvarez, who only needed to win a flip to almost triple up. Spallanzani had the biggest stack, but it seemed unlikely that he could scoop the pot unless the board brought some surprises.
A flop of 3?6?J? was safe for Alvarez, but Bastida did pick up the nut flush draw. An A? on the turn sunk Alvarez as he was drawing to just one out, but left Bastida delighted as he was freerolling for the main pot. Bastida spiked his flush on the 6? river and thumped the table in celebration, as Alvarez was sent to the rail.
