Boston Rob's Gamble Pays Off
Nivel 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action folded to Rob Mariano in the cutoff and he raised all in for his stack 134,000. The player on the button then called for his stack of 30,000. After the small blind folded, the big blind confirmed the count of Mariano, and made the call.
Button: A♦6♦ 
Rob Mariano: Q♥10♥
Big Blind: A♣K♦
Mariano ran into big slick in the big blind, but he found a dream flop after it came Q♠8♥5♥. The Q♣ on the turn left both players drawing dead, and the river brought the 7♥ to give Mariano a flush for good measure, to more than double up and eliminate the player on the button.
After the hand Mariano said "Sometimes you gamble and it pays off".
