Shaun Emery called in early position which saw Brad Rogoff raise to 1,200 which saw Fernando Zuliani call in the small blind, Alexander Nichiporuk call in the big blind, and Shaun Emery call in first position.
The flop came out J♦8♣2♥ and action checked around to Rogoff who bet 1,300 on the flop which saw only Nichiporuk and Emery call.
Action checked through on the 6♦ turn which saw a river of a K♣ which saw action check to Rogoff who put in 3,500. Nichiporuk quickly folded but Emery tossed in a reluctant call, then mucked when seeing the K♥5♥ in Rogoff's hand.
"Lot's of backdoors huh Brad?" asked one of his tablemates, and Rogoff cracked a smile as the pot was pushed towards him.
