At 50bb deep each, and sitting with what appears to be almost-even chipstacks, Ricardo Alvarado and Cord Garcia mix it up with 350,000 going in preflop.
The dealer fans Garcia opens for 375,000, and Alvarado ponders his options before announcing all-in and Garcia calls. The stacks slide out and let me tell y’all, they look REALLY close to even.
- Alvarado shows for an overpair, a flush draw and a gutter to a wheel
- Garcia shows for top pair
The drama ends quickly with the turn, now to count down the stacks.
- Alvarado counts down at 1,285,000
- Garcia counts down at 1,280,000
- Garcia is eliminated by one single 5k chip.
Garcia cashes for $24,500 as runner-up.
Alvarado is winner of the 2023 PokerAtlas Tour Dallas $100,000 Guaranteed $2,500 High Roller, taking home $36,700.
