Alvarado Trips Up His Opponent
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Carlos Alvarado raised to 5,000 from under the gun and the player on the button moved all in for 40,000. It folded back to Alvarado who quickly called turning over 
and his opponent showed 
.
The dealer fanned the 
flop and Alvarado put a hammerlock on the hand with top pair and a straight flush draw.
The turn 
and river 
improved Alvarado to trip aces to earn him the knockout.
He is now sitting behind a mountain of 250,000 and looks to be the current day 1b chip leader.
