Rodgers Versus Yu In 2.75m Pot For Chip Leader

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action started with a raise from Jeffrey Rodgers from under the gun to 75,000. Middle position then three-bet to 250,000. Gio Yu decided to play for stacks from the button, pushing all in for slightly over 1 million, and Rodgers re-jammed for 1,25 million. Middle position thought for a minute, before folding {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} face up.

Gio Yu: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Jeffrey Rodgers: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Yu was at risk, behind, and had both suits covered by Rodgers. He was drawing to two hard outs as the flop ran out {4-Spades}{j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

The turn offered no help with a {6-Hearts}, and Yu was left with one card to keep his tournament hopes alive.

The river fell {3-Diamonds}, and Rodgers effectively doubled up with the dead money, raking in a massive pot to catapult him to chip leader whilst Yu was eliminated in 425th place.
