Roberts' Tens Are Good

The player under the gun raised to 3,700 and was called by the player in the hijack, Daniel Saad on the button, Ron Roberts from the small blind, and the big blind.

The quintet of players saw a flop of {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts} fall and Roberts decided to lead out for 6,500. The big blind and original raiser got out of the way and the hijack tagged along. Saad called as well and the turn was the {5-Spades}. Roberts bet out 9,000 and once again received two callers.

The {8-Clubs} completed the board and Roberts moved 11,000 into the middle. The hijack called and Saad flung away his hand. Roberts showed {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and the hijacked tapped the table, showing pocket nines before mucking. Roberts is now flirting with 100,000 in chips.
