Rodenborn Wins a Small One

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action went three-ways to the turn in a hand between the under-the-gun Robert Cowen, Rafael Mota in the small blind, and Todd Rodenborn in the big blind.

With the board reading 8549, it checked to Rodenborn, who bet 3,000, and only Mota called. On the 8 river, Mota check-called again, this time for 4,000.

Rodenborn tabled J755 for a full house, fives full of eights, and Mota mucked.
