In poker, the term "Rock" is usually used as a derogatory term for a player who plays next to no hands. Despite having a similar sounding name, Michael Rocco is anything but a rock.
Since returning from dinner break he has three-bet folded, opened the betting at least twice and looks like he really means to take this tournament by the horns and ride it home to victory.
Rocco had the perfect warm-up to the 2013 WSOP when he won a $500 buy-in event at the Borgata at Atlantic City in mid-March for a career-best $113,050 score. Can he better that impressive total here in Las Vegas?
Brad Libson raised to 12,000 preflop under the gun. Thomas Muehloecker re-raised to 25,000. Tommy Miller proceed to bump up the action to 53,000 out of the blinds. The rest of the action went all in by Libson and fold by Muehloecker. The two left showed.
Libson: 
Miller: 
The board ran out 
. That gave Libson the winner and he doubled to over 266,000. Miller moved down to 435,000.
