Rick Alvarado Finds Aces to Double

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Rick Alvarado was short stacked and got the last of his 300,000 chips in the middle from early position.

No one wanted to dance until it got to Yves Kupfermunz in the big blind who gave him a spin.

Rick Alvarado had found the aces as he showed {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

Yves Kupfermunz tabled {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}.

The flop of {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} was pretty devastating to Alvarado’s chances and the turn {j-Spades} saw him stand up. The river {a-Clubs} though rode to the rescue to keep him in the game.
