Roesel Bounces Back

Chad Holloway

Thing weren't looking up for Dale Roesel after he just lost a big pot to Jeff Fielder, but he's bounced back with a double.

In the very next hand after losing to Fielder, action folded to Roesel in the small blind and he raised to 125,000. Cliff Stewart was in the big blind and pushed back with a three-bet to the tune of 360,000, and Roesel moved all in for 1.06 million. Stewart, who has a striking resemblance to Phil Ivey, leaned back in his chair, counted out his chips, and then made the call.

Roesel:
Stewart:

It was a great time for Roesel to pick up aces as it appeared he may have been steaming from the previous hand. Whatever the case, the aces held as the board ran out and Roesel doubled through Stewart.
