Rogers Soars Into the Lead
A big pot was brewing in the middle of the room and only the flop has been laid out on the felt. With around 35,000 already in the middle, the flop fell 
. The big blind led out for 6,500 and a player in middle position raised to 24,000. Mike Rogers flat-called on the button and the big blind shipped all in for 130,300. The player in middle position also pushed all in for around 85,000.
The decision was up to Rogers and he thought for a couple of minutes before asking for a count. Eventually, the clock was called and Rogers wasted no more time by making the call. The big blind turned over 
but was behind the short stack's 
. Rogers had both players covered and tabled 
.
The turn was the 
which gave the big blind some more outs, but the 
on the river was exactly what Rogers was looking for. "Heart!" he yelled across the room with his arms in the air. Rogers eliminated both players and moved into an overwhelming chip lead.
