JC Alvarado Washes Out Chen to Burst Bubble
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
In what was quite possibly one of the shortest bubbles of all time - lasting all of two hands - the short-stacked Lei Chen moved all-in pre-flop from middle position and table messiah JC Alvarado made the call from the small blind.
Lei Chen: 
JC Alvarado: 
While Chen had the best hand, the way Alvarado had been running meant the result was almost a foregone conclusion. The Mexican paired his eight on the 
flop and the 
turn was not the ace or jack Chen needed to survive.
The 
river just rubbed salt into the wound and Chen headed for the exit empty handed while the remaining 18 players have all made HK$6,000 and guaranteed themselves a Day 2 seat.
