[user67765]

Paul Rochford

On a flop of {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

and with around 35,000 already in the pot, Rob Price checked the action to Paul Rochford, who fired out a bet of 20,000. Price then check-raised all in for 53,000 and Rochford made the call.

Rochford held {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

for top pair as Price would need to improve with his {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

.

The turn was the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

and river the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

and Price missed his outs and was sent to the rail as Rochford now assumes the tournament chip lead with over 250,000 chips.
