JC Alvarado - OutJC Finds No Salvation
We pick up a heads-up pot on the flop as the board shows
. 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. Deep in the tank, he counted and re-counted his own chip stack, shooting the occasional glance across the table. Finally, he did indeed make the call, putting his tournament life at risk.
Showdown
Alvarado:
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. -
