Rocha Finds the Right Call
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Gianluca Cedolia opened to 5,000 from the hijack and Lucas Silva Rocha three-bet to 15,500 from the button. Cedolia made the call.
The flop came 8♦8♣9♦. Cedolia checked, Rocha bet 9,000 and Cedolia called.
Both players checked the A♦ turn leading to the K♦ river. Cedolia burned through two time banks before firing a bet of 45,000. This time it was Rocha in the tank, also burning through two time banks before making the call.
Cedolia had two pair with K♣Q♣ but Rocha had a bigger two pair with A♥3♥ to take the pot.
