Rockets Propel Ross to a Double

Chad Holloway

Bolivar Palacios opened the pot for a small raise and William Ross moved all-in for 59,000. Francisco de Belaustegui then moved all-in over the top and pushed Palacios out of the hand. Ross would be the one at risk as they turned over their cards:

Ross: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}
De Belaustegui: {K-Spades} {Q-Spades}

The {3-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} made things interesting. De Belaustegui could now win with another queen or a king. The {7-Hearts} on the turn was no help and all Ross needed to do was dodge the river. The dealer burned and flipped the {7-Diamonds} , doubling Ross to around 150,000 in the process.
