Alvarado Crippled

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Rodrigo Rishmague opened for 23,000 and JC Alvarado moved all in having Rishmague covered by just 9,000 in chips. Rishmague made the call and had Alvarado in bad shape as he held {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} to Alvarado's {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

The flop was {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{10-Hearts} keeping Rishmague in the lead but the turn would be the {8-Clubs} to give Alvarado a set. Rishmague had an open-ended straight draw now and would stay alive with any seven, nine, or queen. He would hit one of those cards on the river as the dealer put out the {9-Clubs} to give him a better set.

Alvarado, his backpack on, would more than triple up on the next hand when he hit a straight with {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} on a runout of {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. That would be enough to get him to take his backpack off.
