Dvoress Pays Off Rocco
Level 26
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Michael Rocco opened to 600,000 with K♥Q♣ on the button, with Daniel Dvoress defending his big blind holding Q♦J♦.
Dvoress checked the 2♣9♠7♥ flop and Rocco followed behind. The Q♥ turn connected with both players, and Dvoress checked again. Rocco fired 1,000,000, which was called to the 8♦ river.
Dvoress checked one last time and Rocco bet 3,500,000. Dvoress couldn't fold his top pair, getting the pad news after tossing in the call. Rocco showed down his superior kicker to gain some ground on the chip leader.
