. JC Alvarado is first to act, and he checks over to his lone opponent. Ralph Shannon moved all in, having Alvarado covered, and the pro would take several minutes to make his decision.

Shannon:
Alvarado had started with the dominating hand, but Shannon's two pair had pulled him into the lead. The turn
gave Alvarado a couple extra outs, but the 
that hit the river was a blank. Failing to come back from behind, JC Alvarado has been eliminated.
