Alvarez Fills Up to Stack Opponent

Level 5 : 400/800, 800 ante

Jason Alvarez opened to 1,800 in early position and an opponent in late position called.

Alvarez checked on the flop of {2-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and his opponent fired for 4,100. Alvarez check-raised to 11,000 and the opponent called.

Alvarez bet 20,000 on the {9-Clubs} turn and the opponent again called. The river brought the {4-Clubs} and Alvarez bet 28,000 to put his opponent all-in. The opponent called for his tournament life.

Alvarez tabled {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for a flopped set that improved to a full house on the river and the opponent mucked before leaving his seat.

Ellis Cracks Kings

Level 5 : 400/800, 800 ante

The pot was around 30,000, when a player in late position went all in for 50,000 more.

Chance Ellis was the last man standing in the blinds, and called for nearly half of his stack. His opponent was in great shape to double up when the cards were turned over.

Late Position Player: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Chance Ellis: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The dealer very quickly spread the first three cards, {2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Ellis didn't appear nervous at all, even though he was well behind and needed some help with second pair.

The entire table gasped when the miracle {j-Clubs} fell on the turn, giving Ellis a spiked set.

The player at at risk wanted to share in the same luck, but the {6-Diamonds} river wasn't it, and he gracefully thanked the table before exiting the bustling tournament ballroom.

Raina Gets Value from Ace-High

Level 5 : 400/800, 800 ante

Kiran Raina of Close2Broke Poker told PokerNews about a hand he was involved in.

The cutoff opened to 1,800 and the poker vlogger called on the button, while the small blind also called.

The cutoff continued with a bet of 2,400 on the {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop and only Raina called. The turn brought the {k-Hearts} and the cutoff bet 4,400. Raina again called.

The river brought the {3-Diamonds} and the cutoff bet 5,600. Raina jammed for 25,000 and the opponent took a moment before calling.

Raina showed {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for kings and queens, which was enough to beat the ace-high of his opponent with {a-}{10-}.

Battle of the Bobs

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was four ways as a player raised from under the gun. Bob Zeidman called in the hijack and Bob Scholz on the button. The big blind also called.

Action was checked to Zeidman who bet 7,000 and was called by only Scholz on the {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} board.

The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} in which Zeidman checked to Scholz who threw in a single 25,000 chip. Zeidman then moved all in for 86,500. Scholz thought for a while before folding his hand face up showing {k-}{j-} for trips. Zeidman was kind enough to show as he turned over {6-}{6-} for a flopped full house as he moved the chips towards him.
