Ball Continues to Climb
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Noel Rodriguez raised to 3,500 in the cutoff, Scott Ball called on the button, and Jonathan Little defended in the big blind.
The 8♠Q♦6♣ flop checked through to the Q♠ turn. Little led out for 6,000, Rodriguez folded, and Ball called.
The river landed the 4♣ and Little fired out a bet of 22,000. Ball thought for a moment before putting in the call.
Little tabled 10♣9♠ for a busted straight draw and Ball turned over K♣8♣ for two pair, queens and eights.
