Mather Makes Alvarez Go Away

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Allen Alvarez
Allen Alvarez

Mike Mather raised to 13,000 from the middle position and action folded to Cody Shook in the small blind who made the call. Allen Alvarez shoved in the big blind for 43,000 and Mather responded with a shove of his own but for more. Shook shook his head and opted to fold so the cards could go on their backs.

Allen Alvarez: {q-Spades}{7-Spades}
Mike Mather: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Alvarez needed some help against the pocket pair of Mather.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{a-Spades} to keep Mather ahead but the turn brought the {10-Clubs} for Alvarez to pick up the gutshot to a straight.

The river completed the board with the {9-Hearts} for Mather to improve to a set to eliminate Alvarez.

Shortly after, Jerry Schraders was also eliminated before the bubble.
