Royal Double For Rodrigues
Level 18
: 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Roshan Rodrigues shoved for approximately 100,000 from early position and was called by Sean Ragozzini, who was on the button, to put Rodrigues at risk.
Roshan Rodrigues: A♦Q♦
Sean Ragozzini: Kx10x
Rodrigues held the lead, but lost it momentarily after the 10♦J♦7♥ flop paired Ragozzini's ten despite improving Rodrigues to a Royal Flush draw.
The 5♠ turn changed nothing, but the K♦ river improved Rodrigues to the strongest hand in poker, which got tablemate Billy Argyros to shout, "Royal Flush!" before Rodrigues was sent the pot.
