Paulo Rodrigues Eliminated in 6th Place (£13,500)

UO_London_2014_Tambet_Kask_ME_Final_Table-14.jpgPaulo Rodrigues raised from the cutoff to 125,000 and Charalampos Lappas three-bet to 275,000 from the button with :::As:::Qs. Rodrigues had :::Jd:::Td and he made the call out of position.

The flop brought out :::Ks:::Qh:::7s and Rodrigues checked to Lappas who bet 255,000. Rodrigues tanked for a bit and called creating a big pot on the turn.

The turn was the :::Ad and Rodrigues hit a straight while Lappas made two pair. Rodrigues checked again and Lappas tanked for a long time before betting 475,000. Rodrigues double-checked his cards before moving all in for 1.2 million.

Lappas called immediately with his two pair and a flush draw, but Rodrigues was in the lead. The river was the :::6s and Lappas hit a winning flush! Rodrigues was barely covered by Lappas who now sits on 4.1 million chips.
