Rogoff Holds With The Best Hand

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Brad Rogoff
Brad Rogoff

A player in early position raised to 5,000 and Brad Rogoff moved all in for 16,000 from middle position. The action folded back around to the original raiser who called.

Brad Rogoff: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Rogoff was ahead and his opponent still only had three outs after the {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop. The {10-Spades} turn gave Rogoff a straight and the meaningless {7-Clubs} river completed the board to give Rogoff the double up.
