Soogea Rivers the Nuts to Double
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Robert Soogea three-bet to 2,500 in the big blind before an opponent in middle position four-bet to 12,000. Soogea called.
Both players checked to the river on a board of J♦A♠2♣4♦K♠. Soogea then moved all in for 23,000. "Either I rebuy or I win," Soogea said as his opponent took a few minutes. He eventually called, and Soogea slammed down Q♠10♦ for the nut straight.
His opponent mucked Q♣Q♥, and Soogea took down the first all-in pot of the tournament.
