Rodriguez Fills Up With a Triple

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mid States Poker Tour Commentator Benjamin Valder raised to 3,100 from under-the-gun, and was called by a player on the button. Johnny Rodriguez, a traveling dealer here for the WSOP, three-bet jammed for 11,600 in the small blind, and both Valder and the button called.

Action checked to the river of a {6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board, and Valder checked again. The button bet 10,000.

"Really? I have such a big one...you must have it!" Valder said before folding.

The button turned over {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for a rivered flush. "No good," Rodriguez said before turning over {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} for a full house and the triple.
