T6 Qualifier Rowad Hadrous Enjoys the Ride
The young Swede was dealt two jacks and the action folded around to a player on the button who made it 3,500 to go. "I had about 29,000 chips and I put him all in - he had about 18,000," Rowad recalled. His opponent made the call with A-Q and managed to spike a queen on the flop to take down the pot, leaving Rowad with just 11,000 in chips.
A few minutes later, Rowad said he moved all in from the button for his last 8,500 holding K-Q and was called by the big blind who showed pocket tens. "The flop was A-Q-J and a king came on the turn . . . it was a bad beat," Hadrous explained, smiling and personable even in defeat.
Hadrous was one of several players to qualify for the tournament via the many freerolls and satellites offered at T6Poker.
