Paul Puts the Pressure on Rodriguez
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Alex Keating raised from middle position to 25,000 only to be three-bet by Noel Rodriguez in late position to 72,000. Action folded to Abhishek Paul in the cutoff, who flat-called. Keating folded.
The flop came 9♥2♠2♥ and Rodriguez continued for 70,000. Paul called, and the dealer peeled off the 3♠ as the turn card.
Rodriguez now checked, and Paul cranked up the pressure by firing out a bet of 200,000. Rodriguez went into the tank for a short while and then released his hand, sending the sizeable pot to Paul uncontested.
