Rodriguez Traps Sickle With Aces; Nearing 1.5 Million

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dan Stir opened to 26,000 from early position and was called by Noel Rodriguez, who was in the hijack. Chet Sickle went all in over the top from the cutoff and Stir thought for a while before folding. Rodriguez then called immediately, tabling his hand just as quickly.

Chet Sickle: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Noel Rodriguez: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

"Snap call," said Sickle, realizing he was in some serious trouble. He called for diamonds in a non-demanding way but his request was never fulfilled as the board came {6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{k-Hearts} to send him to the rail. He was the second elimination from Table 4 since the break after the short-stacked Marty Wong was also eliminated.

Rodriguez now finds himself with over 1.4 million in chips as he continues to climb.

Allen Kessler was also seen leaving the tournament area moments after the completion of the aforementioned hand. His seat was vacated and there were no chips in play, marking his departure from the tournament as well.
