Michael Rocco opened to 120,000 from the button and was called by Jonathan Tamayo in the big blind.

Tamayo then led out for 175,000 on the {k-Hearts} turn. Rocco called.

The river brought the {2-Clubs} and Tamayo fired again — this time for 450,000. Rocco tank-called and Tamayo tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. Rocco nodded his head in acknowledgement and mucked his hand.
