"May $100,000 GTD:" Continuing That Trend Upward

"May $100,000 GTD"
$150 No Limit Hold'em Deep Stack
Level 15 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/500)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 125
Flight 1C Players Remaining: 28

It's not often that a player makes back-to-back blog posts, but Dennis Rodriguez (Sunrise, FL) is the storyline at the moment.  After winning that 100,000 pot against Nataliya Allard, Rodriguez would win another six-figure pot just (15) minutes later.  After a short stack at the table shoved for 19,000 from early position, Rodriguez would three-bet to 36,000, looking to get heads-up.  His move didn't go as according to plan though, as the player behind him re-shoved for close to 65,000.  Dennis made the quick call, and the cards would be tabled:

Rodriguez: A♠ Q♣
Player X: A 3
Players Y: J♠ J

Runout: 10 6 8 Q♠5

It looked like Dennis would be losing about a third of his chips after the flop, but he spiked a queen on the turn, and ended up knocking both players out.  The two eliminations would break Table 4, with Rodriguez headed to Table 1 with 210,000...the second player to eclipse that mark.
