Matt Alexander is having a tough go today. He was previously involved in a big hand with Blake Bohn, and when we approached the table, Alexander had just called an opponent's all-in on a board.
Alexander turned over for top pair, but unfortunately his opponent turned over for a higher kicker.
The turn and river failed to improve Alexander's hand and he was left with 25,000 after doubling up his opponent.

If we reach 21 more players in the next three levels, we will officially have a $400,000 prize pool for the second time in Mid-States Poker Tour history.
