Rosario and Kaba Play for It All
Level 6
: 75/150, 0 ante
Big-O
The action folded around to Shirley Rosario on the button who raised it up to 400. Dion Kaba was in the small blind and three-bet to 1,350. The big blind folded and the action was on Rosario who made a four-bet to 4,200. Kaba just called and they went heads up to a flop with already a bunch of chips in the middle.
The flop came 
and Kaba announced a pot-sized bet which was enough for him to be all in for 7,750.
"That's not the best flop," Rosario said as she still made the call. Kaba tabled 
for a straight while Rosario held 
and would need to hit two low cards to get half of the pot.
The turn was the , giving Rosario some outs to chop the pot, but the on the river secured the win for Kaba. When the stacks were counted, Kaba earned a full double-up and Rosario was left with just 250 chips.
