Le Roux Goes Runner Runner for a Knockout
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A short stack got it in preflop and Divan Le Roux went all-in over the top to force out Wesley Blom.
The at-risk player showed Q♦10♦ and Le Roux flipped holding the 9♥9♠ for the underpair. The pair fell behind on the J♦10♣6♦ flop, picked up a gutshot on the 7♣ turn and got there with the 8♣ river.
Blom sighed, mentioned he had folded the K♣Q♣ and declared "I would have called you," pointing to the player next to him that had just busted.
