Victor Figueroa

After a series of raises, Victor Figueroa put his entire 20,800 stack on the line from the small blind and ran smack into the button’s aces.

Button: AhAd
Figueroa: JhTh

The former RRPO champ stood up from his seat when he saw the hands. He caught a flush draw on the Qc5h4h flop, blanked the 3d turn, but got there on the 7h river for the double.

Figueroa sat back down.

“What? Is this your first time playing a tournament?” Jake Schwartz joked from across the table. A fine needle about Figueroa standing up before the board was run.
