Rosarie’s Bold Move Backfires, Left with Crumbs Before the Break

Level 14: 2000/5000 (5000)
Entries: 120/508

Rosarie Roberts from under the gun +1 surprised the table with a bold raise to 32,000—six times the big blind. To her surprise, Andrew Corbin (pictured below) called immediately from her left, followed by another unexpected call from Remond Schweig. Despite the hefty raise, we had three players to the flop.

The flop came 9♦5♥K♣, and Roberts didn’t hesitate to shove her remaining 184,500 into the pot. Corbin, looking conflicted, eventually made the call, while Schweig folded, sending Roberts and Corbin to showdown:

• Rosarie Roberts: Q♠Q♣ (pair of queens)
• Andrew Corbin: A♠K♠ (top pair, ace kicker)

Both held monster hands, but the board brought no help for Roberts on the turn and river, leaving her with just 2,500 chips moments before the 20-minute break and she said “well, a chip and a chair”. Corbin on the other hand was quite happy with the outcome as he is heading for a place on Day 2 with the nice stack he acquired.

Rosarie Roberts – 2,500
Andrew Corbin – 465,000
