Calais Cambell and Carlos Rojas
Calais Campbell (left) is a defensive end for the Baltimore Ravens with six Pro Bowl appearances, while Carlos Rojas (right) won a Lucky Hearts Poker Open Trophy last year in $1,100 No Limit Hold’em.

Carlos Rojas raised under the gun to 9,000, NFL player Calais Campbell reraised from the big blind to 22,000, and Rojas thought for a bit before he called.

The flop came Kh10s3d, Campbell bet 32,000, and Rojas moved all in for 174,000.

Campbell asked for an exact count and thought for a while before he folded, saying he had a king.

Rojas showed 3s3c for a set of threes as he took the pot.

Carlos Rojas  –  256,000  (64 bb)
Calais Campbell  –  181,000  (45 bb)

With about 333 players remaining from a field of 1,982, the average chip stack is about 238,000 (60 big blinds). The final 248 players will finish in the money, earning at least $6,275 each.
