Yanchao Busts Alvarado
Level 15
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Big pocket pairs are not fairing so well for some of the players. This time the man on the chopping block was Mexico’s JC Alvarado and the man doing the chopping was Zhao Yanchao.
Alvarado was the initial aggressor, making it 55,000 to go from middle position and Zhao Yanchao went straight to all-out Global Thermonuclear War and ripped in his whole 900,000 stack. Alvarado thought it over for a good while but made the call for his tournament life with 
and Yanchao turned over 
.
Unfortunately for Alvarado this time the classic race went in the favor of the man holding ace-king and the flop came down king-high and we lose one more, while Yanchao stacked up to 1.9 million.
