Zarbo Spikes the Flop on Rocco
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Michael Rocco had three-bet to 24,000 on the button before Giuseppe Zarbo, in the hijack, moved all in for around 150,000. Rocco called to put him at risk.
Giuseppe Zarbo: Q♣Q♠
Michael Rocco: K♥K♣
Zarbo was crushed by Rocco's kings until the flop brought 4♣Q♥J♠, shooting Zarbo into the lead with a set. Rocco picked up a straight draw on the 9♣ turn, but the 5♣ river was safe for Zarbo.
"Yes," he yelled out after securing the massive double up.
"I don't want to pay that," Rocco said with a laugh as the dealer began counting out his chips to hand over to Zarbo. "Nice hand, sir," he told Zarbo.
