Alvarado's Ace

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

JC Alvarado wanted to play for more as he three-bet to 700 from the button over Xiaotian Yang's open to 225 from the cutoff seat. Mark Ryan called from the small blind, but Yang folded.

The dealer slid a flop of {4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} on the felt and Ryan led out for 900, getting a call from Alvarado.

The turn card was the {9-Clubs} and Ryan checked. Alvarado bet 2,600 and his opponent thought for half a minute before tapping the table in acknowledgement of his opponent's hand and mucked his cards. Alvarado showed the {a-Diamonds} as he collected the pot.
