Roberts Running Away From the Field
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Leslie Kearney raised to 5,500 under the gun, Jonathan Roberts three-bet to 16,000 in the small blind, and Kearney called.
The flop came A♠5♥3♠ and Roberts continued for 12,000. Kearney called and the K♦ fell on the turn. Roberts then bet 27,000 and Kearney called.
The 5♦ fell on the river and Roberts tossed out enough to put Kearney all in. Kearney quickly called for his last 70,000 with A♥Q♦, but Roberts showed Q♠5♠ for rivered trips to win the massive pot and send Kearney to the rail.
"You probably weren't going to pass, anyway. I'm surprised it wasn't a spade," Kearney told him on his way to the exit.
Zhicheng Miao recently fired his fifth bullet of the day.
