Alvarez Takes Chunk Out of Messalas
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A preflop-raising war between Alexios Messalas in the cutoff and Ricardo Alvarez in the small blind created a pot of 150,000.
A monotone flop of 10♠4♠3♠ saw Alvarez move all in for 77,800. Messalas was stuck in the tank for a few minutes after asking for a count. In the end Messalas unwillingly folded his hand and Alvarez tabled A♥A♣. A frustrated Messalas reached back into the muck and revealed the K♣.
