Rocha was down to his last 39,600 when he three-bet all in from the big blind after the player on the button raised. The button called and it was off to the races.

flop paired Rocha's opponent, but fortunately it also contained a nine. the 
turn guaranteed Rocha would double with his set, and he was pushed the pot after the
