Yanchao Busts Alvarado
Level 15
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Big pocket pairs are not fairing so well for some of the players. This time the man on the chopping block was Mexico��s JC Alvarado and the man doing the chopping was Zhao Yanchao.
Alvarado was the initial aggressor, making it 55,000 to go from middle position and Zhao Yanchao went straight to all-out Global Thermonuclear War and ripped in his whole 900,000 stack. Alvarado thought it over for a good while but made the call for his tournament life with 
and Yanchao turned over 
.
Unfortunately for Alvarado this time the classic race went in the favor of the man holding ace-king and the flop came down king-high and we lose one more, while Yanchao stacked up to 1.9 million.
