Andrew Rosen

Paulina Loeliger opened to 20,000 from early position and Andrew Rosen called in the big blind.

Rosen check-called a 10,000 bet from Loeliger on the 758 flop and 25,000 bet from Loeliger on the A turn.

The 2 completed the board and Rosen checked a final time. Loeliger moved all in, which was enough to put Rosen all in for his last 104,000 and he called after a bit of thought.

Loeliger could only show QJ for a bluff and Rosen revealed A4 for a pair of aces to earn the double up.
