Alvarez's Mood Goes From Delight to Dismay as Bastida Scoops Three-Way All In
A three-way all in pot played out between Cristian Alvarez, Nicola Spallanzani, and Juan Bastida with two of the players sharing the same hand.
Juan Bastida: A♠K♠ 
Cristian Alvarez: Q♥Q♣
Nicola Spallanzani: A♣K♦
It was a dream scenario for Alvarez, who only needed to win a flip to almost triple up. Spallanzani had the biggest stack, but it seemed unlikely that he could scoop the pot unless the board brought some surprises.
A flop of 3♠6♦J♠ was safe for Alvarez, but Bastida did pick up the nut flush draw. An A♦ on the turn sunk Alvarez as he was drawing to just one out, but left Bastida delighted as he was freerolling for the main pot. Bastida spiked his flush on the 6♠ river and thumped the table in celebration, as Alvarez was sent to the rail.
