Romero Finds the River to Deliver Tucker to the Rail
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
On a board of 10?J?4?7?, there were around 25,000 chips in the middle when Alex Romero checked it over to Raefe Tucker, who made a small bet. Romero then shoved, and Tucker called off his stack of just over 20,000.
Raefe Tucker: A?K? 
Alex Romero: K?Q?
Tucker had made the right call and just needed to dodge an ace or a nine on the river to double up. However, the poker gods were, at least for now, on Romero's side as the A? river completed his straight, which sent Tucker to the rail.
