Alavez Hero-Calls to Double
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
The action was picked up on a board of 5♦6♣J♠8♠K♠ 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 A♥5♥ for a pair, and was right to do so as Poroliev only had A♠9♠. Thanks to this call, Alavez doubled up moments before the break.
