Baldwin Wins Battle Of the Blinds vs. Alvarado

Action folded around to J.C. Alvarado in the small blind, who limped into the pot. Eric Baldwin checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {4-Clubs} and Alvarado check-called a 20,000 bet from Baldwin.

The turn was the {K-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The river brought the {Q-Spades}. Alvarado checked for a third time and Baldwin fired out 67,000. Alvarado called him down, however, he mucked his hand after Baldwin showed {10-Spades} {5-Spades} for a straight.

Eric Baldwin - 650,000
J.C. Alvarado - 840,000
