Rodriguez Rises as Deeb Descends
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Shaun Deeb raised his small blind to 700,000 and Noel Rodriguez defended in the big blind. The flop fell K♠6♣8♦ and Deeb checked to Rodriguez, who checked back.
On the 3♥ turn, Deeb fired 725,000 chips and Rodriguez flat-called. The K♦ then came on the river, where Deeb put Rodriguez all in for 3,725,000 chips.
Rodriguez only took a few seconds before slamming in a call. Deeb tabled Q♠4♣ for just queen-high, while Rodriguez comfortably turned over K♣7♣ for rivered trips. He raked in a big double-up as Deeb was left as the shortest stack of the table.
