Alavez and Betbese Hit the Rail

Laura Fryer

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Briant Alavez was in an 800,000 pot and already on the turn looking at a 10♥8♣10♦9♣ board when he bet out 460,000 from the big blind. He was against Peter Cross in the cutoff, who folded, allowing Alavez to pick up some chips.

Soon after, Alavez was all in and at risk for his remaining ~1,300,000 from the small blind against Malcolm Franchi.

Briant Alavez: K♦2♦All in
Malcolm Franchi: A♦K♣

His tournament life came to an end after seeing the 10♣J♠A♥J♣9♣ runout, sending him home just before the final three tables.
