Powers Holds On to Double Off Rodriguez
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Enrique Rodriguez had a bet of 7,500 in front of him from middle position with the flop showing 5♦6♠3♥ when David Powers, in the small blind, moved all in for around 30,000. Rodriguez gave it some thought before calling.
David Powers: 6♣6♥
Enrique Rodriguez: K♥5♥
Powers was ahead with his set of sixes, but Rodriguez picked up on a flush draw on the 7♥ turn.
"No heart, dealer," Powers pleaded heading to the river, which came the Q♦ as Powers' set held up to secure his double up right as players were heading off on break.
