Alvarez Inflicts a Big Cooler on Traut
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Miguel Angel Alvarez raised to 32,000 in middle position and Heinz Traut called on the button, as did big blind Dorian Melchers.
Action checked to Traut on the 7♣6♠3♦ flop and he bet 60,000. Only Alvarez called to see the 4♣ turn.
Traut then bet 125,000, Alvarez moved all in for 289,000, and Traut snap-called. Alvarez showed 7♠7♥ for a flopped set, while Traut had 3♣3♥ for a smaller set.
The 6♦ river improved both players to a full house, but Alvarez's sevens full earned him the pot and double up.
