J.C. Alvarado Eliminated in 28th Place ($6,441)

Losing two big hands back-to-back, J.C. Alvarado has been eliminated in 28th place for $6,441.

Seven-handed at his table, Alvarado raised to 7,500 under the gun with {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}. Adam Geyer smooth-called in middle position with pocket aces. Heads-up to the flop, both players checked {Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts}. The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} and Alvarado bet 12,500. Continuing his slow-play, Geyer didn't move for almost two minutes until he said, "All in." Alvarado quickly called and found himself in a bad situation with only five outs and one card to come. The river was a blank and Geyer moved up to 145,000 in chips.

The next hand, players folded around to Allen Cunningham in the small blind who raised all in with K-Q. A seemingly frustrated Geyer called his remaining stack with pocket deuces. A queen on the turn won the hand for Allen, and Geyer is now out of the tournament.
