Anthony Rodrigues raised to 700 from under the gun and was called by two opponents to the 
flop. Only Rodrigues called a bet of 1,600 from the player in middle position and then bet 3,000 himself after the 
turn, receiving a call. With the 
river, Rodrigues now made it 5,000 to go and that enforced a fold.
