Juanda and Alvarado Go at it Again

A player in early position raised to 450 and found two callers -- including J.C. Alvarado -- before the action came to John Juanda. Juanda reraised all in for his last 1,900 (no rebuy chips left). The original raiser folded. Alvarado considered his options, then reraised to isolate. He got his desire as the remaining player in the hand folded, allowing Juanda to open {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} against Alvarado's {2-Clubs} {2-Hearts}.

"I got you in trouble," Juanda said.

"Ahhh, I had to call though," replied Alvarado. "You never have aces there."

The board ran out {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {9-Hearts} {3-Spades} {9-Diamonds} to give Juanda the win. He doubled up to about 4,300.
