Rodriguez Gets It In Behind and Busts
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Apoorva Goel opened for 20,000 from early position, then Roberto Rodriguez moved his last 54,000 all in from the hijack. Arunas Sapitavicius was next to act on the button and he flatted the shove. After the blinds got out of the way, Goel jammed for 335,000 total.
Sapitavicius had him well covered and gave it some thought with his A♣Q♠, but eventually opted to fold.
Roberto Rodriguez: A♥9♥
Apoorva Goel: 10♠10♦
Board: Q♣K♠Q♦6♠10♣
Goel was ahead the whole way, but improved to a boat on the river to bust Rodriguez. He finished in 58th place.
Sapitavicius was lamenting his fold as he would have flopped trip queens, until the river turned that frown upside down and he was glad to preserve that big chunk of this stack.
