Alencar Doubles Up
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The action was picked up on the flop of 6♥9♣4♠ as Josh Arieh bet 8,000 from the big blind and Bryan Alencar made the call. Chet Sickle raised to 43,000, Arieh folded and Alencar was all in for less.
Bryan Alencar: A♣J♥5♣3♥
Chet Sickle: 9♦9♥7♣8♦
Sickle flopped top set and looked to send Alencar packing. The chips were in the middle and Alencar needed a deuce or a seven to make a straight.
The 7♦ on the river was a saving grace for Alencar giving him a straight over Sickle's set of nines. Alencar doubled up to over 70,000.
