Alavez Hero-Calls to Double

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action was picked up on a board of 56J8K with roughly 350,000 in the pot. Ivan Poroliev under the gun raised all-in, and Briant Alavez in the small blind with 205,000 behind went deep into the tank.

He eventually made the call with A5 for a pair, and was right to do so as Poroliev only had A9. Thanks to this call, Alavez doubled up moments before the break.
