Mataix Doubles, Much to His Surprise
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jose Rodriguez bet 12,000 from the button on a flop of 7♣7♦A♠ and Jordi Mataix called in middle position.
The turn came the Q♠ and Rodriguez bet another 35,000. Mataix again called to see the K♣ river, where he pushed all in for 60,000.
Rodriguez tanked for nearly a minute before he called. Mataix then turned over K♦Q♥ and got up from his seat prepared to make his exit, but then found he was ahead as Rodriguez could only show K♠J♣ giving Mataix a double up.
