Alvarado's Aces

Just before break, Istvan Birizdo opened to 400 in early position. JC Alvarado three-bet to 1,200 on his direct left, and the action folded back to Birizdo, who four-bet to 2,750. Alvarado called.

The flop fell {7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, Birizdo led out for 1,750, and Alvarado stared down Birizdo before calling.

The turn was the {8-Hearts}, Birizdo led again - this time for 3,800 - and Alvarado studied him intently before again calling.

The {a-Hearts} completed the board, and for the first time, Birizdo checked. Alvarado stared at Birizdo, then reached for chips and tossed out 5,050. Birizdo called.

Alvarado turned over {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of aces, and Birizdo held onto his hand for ten seconds or so, then mucked.
