When our reporter arrived at the table, JC Alvarado and Marc-Andre Ladouceur were going to the turn after a 
flop. On the flop, Alvarado had bet and Ladouceur made the call before the 
was added on fourth street. Alvarado then bet 36,000, and Ladouceur made the call.
The river was the , and Alvarado moved all in. Ladouceur requested a count, and the dealer informed him the shove was for 71,700. After a bit of time in the tank, Ladouceur made the call.
Alvarado tabled the 
for top two pair. That beat the 
that Ladouceur held, and it turned out Ladouceur also had less chips in the hand. With that, he was eliminated and Alvarado moved to 289,000 in chips.

We got to the table with a sizable pot of 100,000 already in the middle and the board showing

Helder, who won the $1,000,000 first place guarantee at the Winstar River tournament last year, is moving upwards thus far today and was at 280,000 after dragging that pot.

On a beautiful sunny morning in the Bahamas UFC Legend and Bellator fighter Tito Oritz showed us a bit of what his training looks like. Ortiz punished his students with some lunges, sit ups, push ups, burpees and sprints to show that getting into great shape isn't as easy as it sounds.
