Rochford Cracks Aces To Double Up

Nothing tastes better than chocolate milk and cracking pocket aces...
Nothing tastes better than chocolate milk and cracking pocket aces...
Steve Bouya opened the action with a raise to 85,000 from the cutoff position before Paul Rochford quickly moved all in from the button as Bouya appeared to throw his head back in disgust.

The blinds folded and Bouya's expression quickly changed as he said "call" and slammed {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} down on the felt with a sly smirk to his entourage on the rail. Rochford held {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and was looking down the barrel with his tournament life on the line.

The flop came down {8-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades} to give Rochford some life as he picked up a gutshot straight draw. Needing a ten to survive the {10-Diamonds} peeled off right on cue to the shock of Bouya and his followers. The river was the {4-Clubs} and Rochford finds a sensational double up to jump back up to 522,000 chips.
