Roovers Gets Value

Milko van Winden

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante

The complete board was already dealt when small blind Sandro Pitzanti checked to Mark Roovers in the cutoff. He bet 3,500 in a pot worth over 10,000. He was very quickly called by the player on the button and Pitzanti got out of the way even quicker.

Roovers opened up for a full house and that was more than enough to take down the pot and add to his stack.
