Roberts Holds to Send Out Cox
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action folded to Christopher Cox in early position, and he raised all in for his stack of 42,000. It then folded to John Roberts in the cutoff, and he made the call. The button and the blinds folded, to leave the players heads up, with Cox at risk.
Christopher Cox: 7♦7♣ 
John Roberts: J♥J♣
Cox ran into the bigger pocket pair of Roberts, but the 5♦A♦K♦ flop gave Cox extra outs in the form of a flush draw. However, the 2♠ on the turn and 4♥ on the river brought no help for Cox, and the pocket jacks of Roberts was still best, eliminating Cox.
