Gerardo Rodriguez raised to 60,000 in early position and Blas Torres called in the small blind. Gustavo Kamei then three-bet to 315,000 in the big blind. Rodriguez moved all in, Torres folded, while Kamei called.
Gustavo Kamei: A?K?
Gerardo Rodriguez: Q?Q?
It was a classic flip with both players having nearly identical stacks. The 9?9?6? flop was no help to Kamei, while Rodriguez's queens stayed in front through the 5? turn and 7? river to secure the pot.
The stacks were counted down and Kamei had 1,250,000 remaining. Rodriguez barely had him covered and Kamei was sent to the rail.
