Diaz Does Some Damage

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

We just caught the tail end of this pot, and we sure wish we'd seen it from the beginning.

When we walked up, the board showed {7-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts}, and Michael Rocco was putting out a bet of 5,000 from the blinds. His opponent was David Diaz, and Diaz shoved all in for 27,875 in response. Rocco spent a few minutes in the tank before dropping the call in the pot, and he couldn't beat Diaz's {K-Hearts} {5-Hearts}.

Rocco was none too thrilled as he counted away most of his own stack. He's left with just 4,000 or so after that wrong call. Diaz, on the other hand, is stacking up more than 70,000 after finding that flush.
