Alvarado Gets Back to Even
Level 5
: 200/500, 500 ante
There was roughly 12,000 already in the pot on a flop of 
between Richard Yong and JC Alvarado. Yong was first to act and he put out a bet of 5,000. Alvarado was on the button and he decided to raise, making it 12,000. Yong then moved all in rather quickly for a bit over 40,000 and Alvarado called.
JC Alvarado: 
Richard Yong: 
Yong had a flush draw and could catch up with a club but the turn was the 
and the river was the 
. Stacks were counted out and Yong was a bit shorter than Alvarado sending him to the rail.
"Nines flop sets," Alvarado said after the hand. "That's the golden rule."
"So you're back to even now?" Luc Greenwood said, laughing.
"Back to even," Alvarado responded.
