Michael Rocco and Phil Hellmuth built a pot of around 50,000 before the draw and each took one.

"Is it too greedy to ask for a four?" Hellmuth asked as he put out another bet of 25,000. Rocco quickly called.

"Good call," Hellmuth said, turning over a pair of sixes. Rocco had ten-eight to win the pot.

"Look what they call 25,000 with. What is going on here?" Hellmuth vented as the big pot was pushed in Rocco's direction.

Tom McCormick was all in before the draw for around 35,000 and up against Matt Vengrin. McCormick took his time on the draw not realizing that Vengrin had already stood pat before he threw away a ten.

Vengrin showed a jack-low. "Aw, shit," McCormick said, turning over as he threw away the best hand. But he got another ten on the draw to secure the double up.

"Got another one," the WSOP veteran said following the hand.

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Rocco, who finished runner-up to Jeremy Ausmus in the $3,000 6-Handed Limit Hold'em event yesterday, has just doubled up on one of the first hands of the day.

Roman Hrabec opened the pot with a raise to 4,500 before Brant Hale reraised all in for around 35,000. Rocco called and Hrabec folded after a brief tank.

Both players stood pat and Hale showed ten-eight. Rocco, though, had ten-seven to secure the pot. The stacks were counted down and Hale barely had Rocco covered.
