Cordero Sends Another Home

Alex Cordero opened from the button and his opponent directly behind him in the small blind pushed all in for his last 110,000. Cordero tanked, counted his remaining stack, and eventually made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Cordero: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Cordero was slightly behind going to the flop, however, it came {K-}{Q-}{2-}, propelling Cordero into the lead with two pair.

"That's a good flop for you," Cordero's opponent said as he got up from his seat. The turn and river bricked for Cordero's opponent and he was sent to the rail.

Cordero has chipped up in a big way this past level. He is now up to 420,000
