Nolte Puts Alvarado in a Tough Spot

When we arrived on the scene JC Alvarado was already contemplating a big decision, and we pieced the hand together with some help from one of the players at the table.

The player under the gun, Thomas Berends, had raised and Christian Nolte had made the call in middle position. Alvarado had then three-bet to 6,400 from he hijack and from his immediate left it was Remi Castaignon who four-bet to 12,400.

The action then folded to Nolte who pulled off a big move by going all in for 61,900 total.

After we had pieced the had together Alvarado was still in the tank, and eventually he decided to let go of his hand. Castaignon had the dealer pull in all the amounts, but even with only the shove left to call he decided to let go of his hand as well. Nolte raked in a big pot without showdown and he left everyone wondering with what hand he pulled off this move.
