Luca Wins a Big Flip
Level 4
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Stephen Chidwick was eliminated while Nick Petrangelo re-entered and JC Alvarado, who had prevously boosted his stack, took on Ivan Luca in a raising war. Luca raised to 4,500 and Alvarado three-bet to 19,000 in the big blind. That prompted a reraise to 45,000 by Luca and he called the shove of Alvarado for the following coin flip:
Ivan Luca: 
JC Alvarado: 
The board came 
and Luca doubled for 137,700 in total, sending Alvarado back below the starting stack.
