One For Alvarado
We picked up the action with Tobias Reinkemeier having 15,000 out in front of him and facing a raise to 26,500 by JC Alvarado. The German made the call and then checked the 
flop. Alvarado took the opportunity to bet 14,600, and it was enough to get the job done as Reinkemeier released his hand.
It wasn't a huge pot, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on both their chip stacks.
