Roovers Puts Pressure on Mahonen
Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Mark Roovers raised to 2,000 from early position and Jari Mahonen called in the small blind. Mario Nicoforo defended the big blind and the three went off to a flop of J?A?2?, which got checked through.
Mahonen then fired 2,500 on the 7? turn, which only Roovers called. On the 7? river, Mahonen sized up to 7,500, but Roovers upped the ante even more with a raise to 22,400.
Mahonen spent some time in the tank before forfeiting his cards and thus the pot to Roovers.
