Roser Kicks Vaitiekunas to the Curb
Level 5
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Manuel Fritz raised to 12,000 in middle position and picked up three callers along the way. The flop fell J♦7♠4♣ and the action checked to Jack Roser in the cutoff who bet 51,000. Paulius Vaitiekunas was the only player to call from the big blind.
The 7♣ paired the board on the turn and Vaitiekunas checked again. Roser splashed in a bet of 75,000 and Vaitiekunas shoved all in for around 120,000. Roser quickly called and the cards were face up.
Vaitiekunas showed J♥2♥ for top pair but Roser held Q♥J♣ for the same pair but a better kicker. The river was the 4♥ and Vaitiekunas was sent to the registration desk for another bullet.
