button in SafariGonzalez Gets Warm Welcome
Drew "BetOnDrew" Gonzalez opened to 3,500 from middle position shortly after entering the tournament. Vincente Rojas called from the hijack. Ray Henson joined with a call on the button, and Robert Bjork came along with a call from the big blind.
The 6♣Q♠J♠ flop was checked by Bjork, which led to a continuation bet of 3,500 from Gonzalez. Rojas went all-in for approximately 16,500. It folded to Gonzalez, who made the call and put Rojas at risk.
Vincente Rojas: Q♦9♦
Drew Gonzalez: A♦Q♠
Rojas had kicker issues as they went to the turn and river.
The 8♠ turn was a sweat as Rojas gained outs to a straight, but it was not meant to be on the K♣ river as Gonzalez scored the knockout.
"That's the bottom of my range," said Gonzalez to the table with a smile as he took down the pot.
