Rojas Counterfeits a Pair
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Yulimar Rojas was all in for around 20,000 on the button and against an opponent in early position.
Yulimar Rojas: 5♣5♥
Opponent: A♥J♠
"Fifty-fifty," the early-position player said heading to the K♦K♣Q♥ flop. "Fifty-fifty," he repeated.
The Q♠ fell on the turn to counterfeit his pocket pair and give Rojas the lead. "Not fifty-fifty," he finally said as he handed over the double up once the 7♣ fell on the river.
