Rocco Puts Cheong to Tough Decision

Tyler Foran

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Joseph Cheong opened 160,000 in early position and called a three-bet of 425,000 from Michael Rocco in the cutoff.

When the 9♣6♥3♥ flop hit the felt, Cheong check-called 350,000.

The 9♦ paired the board on the turn and Cheong checked once again. Rocco announced a bet of 525,000 as he slid it across the line. Cheong went into the tank, using a couple of time banks before mucking his hand.

Michael Macchia opened 120,000 in middle position and Nacho Barbero called in the small blind before Christoph Vogelsang defended the big blind.

When the J♦5♥4♣ flop hit the felt, Vogelsang checked and Macchia continued for 150,000. Barbero called and Vogelsang check-raised to 525,000. That was enough to earn the pot as both players mucked their hands.

Level 18 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Paulius Vaitiekunas opened to 125,000 from the button and Eric Wasserson shoved from the small blind for 360,000. Vaitiekunas called with a covering stack to put Wasserson at risk.

Eric Wasserson: A♦K♦ All in
Paulius Vaitiekunas: A♣A♥

Both players had monster hands but Wasserson was on the wrong side of the cooler with ace-king versus the aces of Vaitiekunas. Wasserson found no help on the 3♥J♥10♣8♣9♣ runout and was sent to the rail on the stone bubble while Vaitiekunas took the pot.
