Massive Double-Up for Rosborough

Sava Krink

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The table folded around to Samuel Rosborough, the small blind, who filled his blind up. Asher Conniff in the big blind then made it 300,000. Rosborough thought it through, but then three-bet to 1,050,000. With action back to Conniff, he decided to go all in. Rosborough quickly double-checked his cards before quickly making the call.

Samuel Rosborough: A♠A♣ All in
Asher Conniff: Q♥Q♦

It was either going to be a massive double-up for Rosborough or a good pot for the chiplead for Conniff. The dealer tabled the flop with J♣A♥J♥, giving Rosborough an immediate full house. With not many outs left to turn this around, the 6♦ turn and the 7♥ turn were not helping Conniff, allowing Rosborough to double up and giving him a top spot in the chip counts.

Sanghoon Choi went all in from late position and Eric Berman shoved from the small blind for a little more.

Sanghoon Choi: A♠10♦ All in
Eric Berman: A♣K♥

Choi asked for his one time, but it wasn't meant to be as the Q♠J♣5♣4♥3♥ rolled off the deck.

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jeremy Saderne kicked things off with a raise to 160,000 from the cutoff. Samuel Rosborough, in the big blind, was the only one who wanted to see a flop.

Rosborough check-called the 110,000 bet of Saderne on the 7♥A♣J♥ flop.

When the 5♣ turn was tabled, Rosborough checked once again, and Saderne fired another bet of 375,000. With the action back at Rosborough, he raised to 2,000,000, which meant the all-in for Saderne. Saderne went deep into the tank, checked his cards, chips, and the clock multiple times. After almost three minutes, he decided to fold and give up on a decent pot.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Zachary Hall lost the majority of his chips in a three-way pot against where Julio Belluscio got value from Carlos Kinil on a board reading K♣K♥4♦4♣J♠ and the prior showed A♣J♦ to collect the pot.

A Few Hands Later:

Zachary Hall raised to 220,000, leaving himself one 5,000 chip behind. Julio Belluscio responded with a raise of his own to the tune of 470,000. Hall gave himself a few moments but it was clear there was no major action at the other table and he flicked in his last chip.

Zachary Hall: K♠10♣ All in
Julio Belluscio: A♣K♣

The board ran out clean for Belluscio as the 5♦3♣J♦7♥9♦ hit the felt.
