Rodrigues Lucky to Be Alive
Nível 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
There was 17,000 in the middle in a pot between Michael Rodrigues and Adrian Mateos. They had arrived on the turn on K♥Q♦5♦6♠, which they both checked.
The river came the 9♠ and Mateos put out a bet of 10,500. Rodrigues threw in a single T-500 chip for a call and Mateos slammed his K♣K♦ on the table, for top set.
Rodrigues looked dejected as he showed the table his slowplayed A♠A♦. ''Wow!'' exclaimed Yuan Li, also present at the table.
Had Rodrigues chosen to get it all in preflop, he would have been gone from the tournament. Now he was left with 14 big blinds to try and spin up towards the tail end of the day.
