Adios, Alvarado

J.C. Alvarado was all in before the flop holding everyone's favorite go-broke hand, {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}. Action came from Chris Bjorin who held {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}, racing for the knockout.

The flop was no fun for J.C., and the board ran out {9-Spades} {Q-Spades} {6-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} to spell his demise. With his pair of queens, Bjorin knocks off Alvarado and chips up to 460,000.
