Rodriguez Gets His Requested Card and Doubles Up
There was a lot of action in the hand preflop, with Brian Patterson opening to 7,000 from the cutoff and Eluterio Rodriguez three-betting from the button. The raise got a cold call from Neil Kutas in the big blind. The action got back to Patterson, who decided to move all in. Rodriguez quickly called and at this point, Kutas released his hand.
Eluterio Rodriguez: J♠J♦
Brian Patterson: Q♠Q♦
Before the dealer dealt the flop, Rodriguez asked for a jack. The flop came K♣4♠7♣ and Patterson was still way ahead with his queens.
However, Rodriguez soon got his wish: the turn was the J♥. Patterson couldn’t catch a queen on the river and Rodriguez doubled up, while Patterson was left on a short stack. Kutas later said he folded ace-jack, which means that Rodriguez was able to catch the case jack to stay alive.
