Rodin is a "Very Lucky Guy"

David Salituro

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Mark Helou raised to 65,000 under the gun and received three callers - Jon Kyte in middle position, Grigorii Rodin in the cutoff, and big blind Dejan Jakovljevic.

The flop came 5♦3♣8♦ and Helou bet 100,000. Kyte and Rodin called, while Jakovljevic folded.

The A♦ fell on the turn and action checked to Rodin who bet 245,000. Helou called and Kyte folded.

Both players checked the 4♦ river and Helou turned over A♠Q♥ for top pair. Rodin showed 7♣6♣ and the dealer was about to push the pot to Helou until Rodin pointed out he had rivered a straight.

"Very lucky guy," Kyte said.

"I knew he had nothing on the turn," Helou replied.

Grigorii Rodin raised to 60,000 in early position, Jon Kyte three-bet to 250,000 in the big blind, and Rodin called as the two clashed in yet another pot.

The flop was 2♣Q♥8♠ and Kyte bet 175,000. Rodin called and the 5♣ fell on the turn. Kyte then bet 435,000 and Rodin again called.

The J♥ fell on the river and Kyte slid forward a tower of chips totaling around 1,400,000, leaving himself only around 200,000 behind. Rodin quickly folded as Kyte took the pot heading into dinner break.

"If I check do you go all in?" Kyte asked him as they prepared to leave the table.

"No," Rodin replied.

"Ah, pocket tens then," Kyte added.
