Roof Takes a Chunk From Luong's Stack

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Marshall Roof
Marshall Roof

Marshall Roof opened to 28,000 from the cutoff and was called by Anthony Luong in the small blind.

Both players checked down on the {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop and {q-Spades} river; however, Luong led out for 35,000 on the {j-Clubs} river and Roof then raised to 169,000, sending Luong deep into the tank.

Luong eventually made the call and Roof showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for queens-full. Luong held {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for a lower full house and Roof took the sizable pot.
