Rodriguez Triples In Battle Of the Pairs
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Chip leader Adam Rayhaan opened to 85,000 in the cutoff and folded as Javier Rodriguez three-bet jammed a stack of 545,000 from the big blind.
The very next hand, Rayhaan opened to 95,000 and Daniel Smiljkovic called on the button before Rodriguez again three-bet jammed. Rayhaan called and Smiljkovic then back-jammed a stack of around 1,000,000 as Rayhaan called to put both opponents at risk.
Javier Rodriguez: Q♠Q♦
Daniel Smiljkovic: 9♠9♥
Adam Rayhaan: 7♣7♥
It was a battle of the pocket pairs and Rodriguez had the best of it as the board ran out 10♦3♥K♦A♥6♣ to earn him a triple as a small side pot went to Smiljkovic.
