Roisen Wins Flip
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A player from early position opened before David Roisen went all-in for his final 24,500 from the big blind. Roisen was called and at risk as they went to a runout.
David Roisen: K♣8♠
Opponent: A♦Q♥
Roisen was the underdog as they went to a flop, but the first three cards vaulted him into the lead when it came 10♦9♥8♥ to give Roisen a pair of eights and the lead. His opponent gained some outs to a straight to keep things spicy with two cards to go.
The 4♠ turn was a blank in favor of Roisen, and the 5♦ river was a safe card as Roisen secured the double.
