Rodriguez Flops Two Pair and Eliminates Junior-Barbosa
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Action folded to Xin Lin in middle position, and he raised to 1,200. Cleiton Junior-Barbosa in the hijack, and Norman Rodriguez in the cutoff both made the call.
After the 10♠5♠9♦ flop, Lin checked and Junior-Barbosa bet all in for 10,400. Rodriguez then raised all in, which got a quick fold from Lin, leaving the two players heads up, and Junior-Barbosa at risk.
Cleiton Junior-Barbosa: K♣Q♣
Norman Rodriguez: 10♥9♥
Rodriguez flopped top two pair, but Junior-Barbosa had outs with a gut shot straight draw. But when the board ran out 6♣ on the turn, and Q♥ on the river, the two pair of Rodriguez was still best, and Junior-Barbosa was eliminated.
