Rodriguez Cracks Kings to Survive
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
A player under the gun limped in before the button raised to 107,000. Mario Rodriguez then moved all in for 448,000 in the small blind and the under-the-gun player reshoved. The button took a minute before folding, saying he had two jacks.
Mario Rodriguez: A♥Q♥
Opponent: K♣K♦
Rodriguez had run into two kings and got no help on the 5♠6♠7♣ flop, but he spiked the A♦ on the turn to take the lead. The river was the 9♣, and Rodriguez doubled up.
