Rosen Rockets to Double-Up

Mikael Rosen
Mikael Rosen
It didn't take long to find some fireworks after the last break. Mikael Rosen opened a pot with a raise to 55,000. Action folded to Tian Chen in the big blind, who didn't take long before reraising to 255,000. Rosen, who started the hand with about 430,000, shipped the rest of it in. Chen was practically priced in at that point and made the call.

Rosen: {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}
Chen: {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}

Rosen was the first player today to show pocket aces in the hole. It was a bad time for Chen to pick up jacks. Neither player improved on a flop of {8-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {6-Spades}. The turn {10-Clubs} drew a murmur of excitement from the crowd. Any queen, any jack or any seven would send Rosen to the rail. He survived when the {2-Spades} fell on the river.
