"I'll Show You, Brother" - Rodriguez Makes Quads
Hesam Alagha opened to 48,000 from middle position and was called by both Eluterio Rodriguez in the cutoff and Jence Kelling, who was on the button. The flop came and Alagha made a continuation-bet of 70,000. Rodriguez put out a raise to 150,000, prompting a fold from Kelling. Alagha then called.
The turn was and Alagha checked. Rodriguez put out a bet of 275,000 and Alagha thought for a bit before ultimately calling. The river fell and Alagha checked once more.
"Got about 650 behind?" asked Rodriguez.
"That's about right," said Alagha.
Rodriguez cut out a bet of 325,000. Alagha thought for a while more and let his hand go.
"I'll show you, brother," Rodriguez offered. Alagha asked him what he said, almost unsure if he had heard correctly. Rodriguez tabled to show quads and had the massive pot sent his way, bringing him over 2 million and making him now the likely chip leader as the final four tables loom near.
