Alavez Calls with Two Pair to Double
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
The action was picked up on a board of K♦2♥5♠8♠ with Braxton Dunaway in the cutoff who continued for 400,000. Briant Alavez was in the big blind and check-raised to 1,200,000, but Dunaway didn't back down and quickly called.
The 9♠ river completed the board and Alavez bet 700,000. Dunaway grabbed a pile of blue chips and raised to 2,400,000, slightly more than Alavez's stack. The Mexican player went deep into the tank and eventually made the call.
Briant Alavez: 5♣2♣
Braxton Dunaway: A♠K♥
Dunaway applied maximum pressure with top pair but Alavez called with two pair and doubled up.
