Rockowitz Doubles Through

Heads-Up
Heads-Up

After a tentative sparring period, we encountered our first all-in (and call) of this heads-up battle.

It was Jesse Rockowitz who lit the first spark, opening from the button with a raise to 320,000. Raymond Coburn made the call.

Fireworks on the {J-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Spades} flop as Coburn check-raised Rockowitz's continuation bet of 315,000 to a cool million. Rockowitz announced all-in and, with a shrug of the shoulders, Coburn made the call.

Coburn: {J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Rockowitz: {J-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Despite the threat of a split, the {10-Clubs} turn and {3-Clubs} river were both safe cards and Rockowitz doubled up. As a result, stacks are virtually back up to even.
