Mario Rodriguez raised to 5,500 in early position and Harish Gadre called before Jack Bittker three-bet to 20,000 on the button. Rodriguez called and Gadre folded.
Rodriguez checked on the flop of J♠5♥Q♣ and Bittker sized down to 11,000. Rodriguez called. Rodriguez checked again on the 6♥ turn and Bittker checked back.
Rodriguez checked once more on the 9♥ river and Bittker bet 45,000. "Ace-king of hearts, really?" Rodriguez said before calling.
Bittker showed aces with A♦A♣ and it was good to win the pot.
As the hand played out, a dealer named Lynn from Texas rotated into the table and told Doug Polk about the time she gave him a hard time at The Lodge in Austin during a $50,000 added Ladies Tournament. Polk remembered but it took him a moment.
"Do you remember when I harassed you in your room?" Lynn asked.
"In my room?" Polk reacted. "Oh at The Lodge. I remember."
