Tammel Dodges the River to Double Off Alvarez; Ten Cate Unbeatable
Babak Shahrtash raised to 35,000 under the gun and Tarmo Tammel three-bet to 75,000 in early position. Jorge Alvarez then four-bet to 200,000 in the small blind.
Shahrtash folded, but Tammel moved all in for 250,000 and Alvarez snap-called.
Tarmo Tammel: K♦K♠ 
Jorge Alvarez: A♥Q♥
Alvarez hit top pair on the Q♣9♥5♦ flop, while the K♥ turn gave Tammel a set and Alvarez a flush draw going to the river. Tammel dodged the 7♠ as he let out a big fist bump and secured a double up.
At the same time at another table, Jonas ten Cate and David Higuera went to the river on a completed board of K♥8♠3♦10♣J♥. Ten Cate then raised all in from the hijack and Higuera called for 300,000 on the button.
Ten Cate showed Q♦9♠ for a rivered straight and Higuera's cards quickly hit the muck as he made his exit. "Since the bubble I'm unbeatable," Ten Cate said after the hand.
