Gold Doubles Through Rodriguez
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Marc Foggin opened to 330,000 and Benjamin Gold shoved all in for 2,195,000 from the button. Noel Rodriguez then made it 4,000,000, which got Foggin out of the way.
Benjamin Gold: 8♦7♦ 
Noel Rodriguez: A♠K♦
Gold needed to connect with the board if he wanted to stay alive and got off to a good start after he paired his eight on the 8♣J♥6♠ flop.
No help arrived for Rodriguez on the 2♠ turn or 10♠ river which meant Gold doubled up.
