Rodawig Wins Ginormous Hand

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Wow. There was a group of spectators already surrounding Eric Rodawig's table when we arrived, and here's what we saw. There was already almost 30,000 in the middle on a flop of {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. One player was all in for just 100 chips, and another had bet pot of 31,800, which was for all but 1,000 of his chips. It was on Rodawig, who was deep in the tank. He cut out the chips to make the call, and after another minute of thought or so, stuck it in, causing table mate Mike Matusow to go "wow you got some balls kid!"

Rodawig: {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Opponent 1: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Spades}
Opponent 2: {8-Spades}{a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

For the moment, Rodawig's bottom two pair was good, but that all changed when the {j-Diamonds} hit the turn. It looked all but done for Rodawig, until the {q-Hearts} hit the river, giving Rodawig a winning full house. Upon seeing the card, Rodawig yelled out a "yes" that could probably have been heard by people down the hall in the amazon room. Once all the chips were stacked up, we pegged Rodawig's now giant stack at 150,000.
