"Chance of a Lifetime"

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After a raise to 2,000 from the middle-position player, Zak Rodriguez bumped it up to 4,000 from the cutoff. Rich Alsup then shoved all in for around 24,000 and action folded back to Rodrigez.

"Wow, I have the opportunity to bust Rich?" Rodrigez said aloud, "This is the chance of a lifetime, I call."

And with that, the cards were tabled, with Alsup at risk.

Rich Alsup: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Zak Rodriguez: {j-Spades}{7-Spades}

The flop of {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{j-Hearts} was good for Alsup as it gave him top pair with a superior kicker, which left Rodriguez drawing slim. But somehow Rodriguez managed to pull off a miracle as he went runner-runner {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a rivered straight.

"See look at that, the chance of a lifetime and I just get there," Rodriguez told Alsup as he scooped in the pot and Alsup headed to the rebuy desk shaking his head.

"This is why I love poker, it's not about the money, it's just the fact that I can bust people in ways like that," Rodriguez laughed to himself as he stacked his new chips.
