Roetker Approaching Six Figures
Thus far, only Jason Fitzpatrick has entered six-figure territory with his chip-leading stack of nearly 200,000, but Drake Roetker is about halfway to Fitzpatrick's stack after a recent pot.
Following a raise to 1,500 by Randall Lefevre in the hijack and a pair of late position calls, Roetker made it 4,500 to go from the small blind.
Only Joshua Burkhalter called on the button to see the J♠6♦6♥ flop.
Roetker check-called a bet of 3,500 from Burkhalter to see the K♣ fall on the turn.
Following another Roetker check, Burkhalter fired another 11,000 which Roetker again called.
On the river Q♥, Roetker checked a final time, but couldn't get a final bet out of Burkhalter who checked.
Roetker rolled over K♠K♥10♠9♥ for kings full of sixes and the winner to take down the pot.
