Rodrigues Doubles Early

The flop came down {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} and Manny Rodrigues found all of his chips in the middle of the table. It was only a few hands into the event, but Rodrigues already had anm opponent on the ropes with the nut flush, {J-Clubs} {2-Clubs}. His opponent held {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs}. Peter Aristidou folded {A-?} {K-?} face up on the flop with all of the crazy action that he saw going on in the hand.

The turn and river fell the {8-Diamonds} then the {9-Diamonds}, giving Rodrigues an early double up to over 10,000 chips.
