Yokosawa Yeets Rocco out of the High Roller
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
In a modest pot, there was a board of 5♣A♣J♦7♣ in the middle. Masato Yokosawa and Michael Rocco were heads up when the former checked from the big blind before the latter bet 4,000 from middle position. Yokosawa called and the 4♣ river brought the fourth club on the board.
Yokosawa now led out for 8,500 chips, enough to put Rocco all in. Rocco mulled it over for a while before slamming in his final chips, revealing [a9c] for a middling flush.
However, Yokosawa played the higher flush with K♣8♦ and knocked out his opponent.
