Rockowitz Lets It Go

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

There was a substantial pot already brewing and the {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop was out when we got to the table. Jesse Rockowitz had already committed 1,300 chips from the button and was facing a decision for what looked like 5,000 from the player in the big blind. After a bit of time in the tank, Rockowitz called.

The {10-Spades} hit the turn and the big blind shoved, putting Rockowitz to a decision for his stack. He went into the tank for over a minute before he folded and his opponent took the pot.

Davies More Than Triples

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

Scott Davies raised to 1,525 from middle position, leaving himself a single T-25 chip behind. Both blinds called.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Spades} and the small blind bet 1,525. The big blind folded.

"I feel committed to this pot," said Davies as he tossed in his last remaining chip.

Scott Davies: {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Small blind: {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Davies had the best of it by far with aces up and his opponent needed a lot of help from the deck to stack him. The {J-Diamonds} on the turn gave the small blind a flush draw.

"Ayyyy, dios mio!" Davies exclaimed in response.

The final card was the {Q-Clubs}, a safe one for Davies, so he took the pot.
