Alavez Asks for More
Erwann Pecheux opened to 200,000 on the button, and Albert Calderon called from the big blind.
The 4♥2♦9♣ flop was check-called by Calderon after Pecheux bet 175,000. The 3♦ was turned, and both checked to see the 3♣ river. The players quickly checked to showdown, and Calderon turned over 6♥6♠ to take the pot.
In the next hand, Briant Alavez opened to 200,000 from under the gun, and Braxton Dunaway, who was sitting to his direct left, was the only caller. The pair saw a 5♠6♦5♠ flop, which was quickly checked to the 2♥ turn. Alavez bet 350,000, and Dunaway mucked his hand.
Soon after, Kimon Fountoukidis limped from the small blind, and Briant Alavez made it 300,000 to call from the big blind. Fountoukidis topped up to call, and the players saw a K♦3♥10♥ flop. Fountoukidis checked, Alavez bet 175,000, and Fountoukidis folded, leaving Alavez to pick up more.
