Action folded all the way around to JC Alvarado in the small blind. He raised to 2,400 and the big blind called. The flop came down {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

and Alvarado checked. The big blind fired 2,500 and Alvrado called.

The turn brought the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

and Alvarado check-called another bet of 2,500. The river was the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

and Alvrado checked again. This time it wasn't to check-call, but instead to check-raise. After his opponent bet 3,000, Alvarado raised to 14,000. The player made the call and waited for Alvrado to turn up {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

for just a pair of twos. The big blind then tabled {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

to win the pot.

Alvarado slipped to 26,400 chips.
