A Million or Busto

J.C. Alvarado

J.C. Alvarado was all in before the flop for his final 470,000 chips. Davidi Kitai was the man trying to eliminate him, and he had the best hand going in. Kitai tabled {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}, poised for a knockout against Alvarado's {K-Hearts} {10-Clubs}.

Help would come for the all-in player though as the flop revealed {K-Spades} {6-Clubs} {9-Spades}. The {7-Diamonds} on the turn kept him in the lead, and the river {8-Hearts} locked up the pot and the double up for Alvarado. He's up dangerously close to the million mark, sitting on 970,000 now.
