Rocco Dominates De Silva
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Michael Rocco opened from middle position and action folded around to Upeshka De Silva who moved all in for around 990,000 in the big blind, leaving just a single 5,000 chip behind. Rocco moved all in and De Silva eventaully flicked in his final chip to put himself at risk of elimination.
Upeshka De Silva: A♣J♣
Michael Rocco: 9♣9♥
The 6♦7♦5♥ flop kept Rocco ahead and De Silva needed to find an ace or a jack to survive.
A 3♦ turn didn't change the standings and Rocco took yet another pot to maintain his lead in the tournament when the 5♦ was placed.
