Level 28 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Michael Alvarez
Michael Alvarez

With just one small blind remaining, Michael Alvarez was practically forced all in on four consecutive hands, winning each one and coming from behind on three of the four.

Hand #1:

Michael Alvarez: {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Mohammad Bagheri: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The board: {7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}

Hand #2:

Michael Alvarez: {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Mohammad Bagheri: {a-Spades}{2-Spades}

The board: {3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Hand #3:

Michael Alvarez: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Mohammad Bagheri: {k-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

The board: {6-}{6-}{7-}{10-}{7-}

Hand #4:

Michael Alvarez: {k-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Mohammad Bagheri: {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The board: {k-}{5-}{6-}{2-}{j-}

Hand #4 was the most brutal as Alvarez flopped two-pair to overcome the dominated king.

Alvarez then had a stack that was not just an auto-shove and he would then double for a fifth time a couple of hands later as he got it in with {5-Clubs}{4-Spades} against the {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds} of Mohammad Bagheri, again behind. The flop came {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} to pair the four. The turn was the {j-Clubs} and the river came the {8-Clubs} to give Alvarez more and start to make the improbable comeback start to seem possible.
