Three Kings For J.C.

On a flop of {2-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}, J.C. Alvarado put out a bet of 2,200. His lone opponent, Steve Sung, made the call.

The turn card brought the {A-Diamonds} and another bet from Alvarado. He pushed out 5,400 this time, and Sung again called.

Fifth street was the {3-Hearts}. Not slowing down now, Alvarado fired another 10,200 chips. Sung went into the tank for a good long soak before making the call. Alvarado showed down {K-Spades} {J-Spades} for the trip kings, and it was the winner.

He's moved up to 65,000, dropping Sung down around 14,000.
