Alvarez Sucks Out to Doubles

Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

David Ballestero Alvarez raised to 16,000 from early position, the small blind called and Nicolas Betbese moved all in from the big blind. Alvarez called off the bet for his last 150,000 and the small blind folded.
David Ballestero Alvarez: A?Q?
Nicolas Betbese: A?K?
The first four cards landed the 10?8?7?8?, but it was the Q? river that saved Alvarez and he doubled up.
