Rocco Scoops a Massive Pot with Fourth Pair
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Michael Rocco raised to 120,000 in the small blind and Navkiran Singh called in the big blind. The flop came Q♣9♥7♠ and Rocco checked to Singh who bet 120,000. Rocco check-raised the pot to 640,000 and Singh ripped all in for around 1,270,000. Rocco snapped him off and the cards were face up.
Navkiran Singh: K♠J♥10♦2♥
Michael Rocco: J♣10♥7♣6♥
Both players had straight draws but it was Rocco with the only pair thus far. The 3♣ on the turn was a brick and nobody could connect with the A♥ on the river. Rocco's pair of sevens was the best hand and Singh was eliminated.
