Luca Wins a Big Flip

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Ivan Luca

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: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
JC Alvarado: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The board came {J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Luca doubled for 137,700 in total, sending Alvarado back below the starting stack.
