Rodriguez Rises
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
John O'Neal raised to 120,000 in early position. Jose Rodriguez Zurita called in the small blind, and Bradley Guan followed suit in the big blind. It checked to O'Neal on the J♣6♦7♦ flop. He continued for 200,000, seeing Rodriguez call before Guan folded.
O'Neal sized up to 550,000 on the J♥ turn. Rodriguez called again, and did once again when O'Neal piled in 1,750,000 on the 9♣ river.
O'Neal confidently tabled A♠J♦ for the best trips, but Rodriguez had better as his 7♠7♣ gave him a full house to rake in the big pot.
