button in SafariCheong Doubles; Rockenbach Runs Out of Luck
Osmar Rockenbach opened to 13,000 from middle position and Joseph Cheong three-bet to 35,000 on the button. Rockenbach four-bet to 77,000 and Cheong moved all in for 253,000. Rockenbach sighed and called, covering Cheong by just 10,000 chips.
Joseph Cheong: A♠K♠
Osmar Rockenbach: K♥K♦
Rockenbach was ahead, but Cheong picked up on the A♣Q♠J♥ flop. Rockenback was already stood at the table and had his bag on his back thinking he was covered by Cheong.
Rockenbach couldn't find a way back on the 8♦ turn or 6♠ river, and he was left with just under two big blinds. He nearly walked away thinking he had bust, but he had enough change to play just one more hand in the Main Event.
He moved all in in the next hand, and Celso Sirtoli called from the hijack.
Osmar Rockenbach: A♦3♣
Celso Sirtoli: 7♥7♦
Rockenbach flopped an open-ended straight draw, bringing him more outs on the 4♦6♣5♣ flop, but Sirtoli still had the upper hand with the bigger straight draw. The 8♥ gave Sirtoli the pot, and this time, he left the table for good as the 2♥ river was placed.
