Rocco Finishes Off Pastore
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
On the next hand after the three-way all in, Jonathan Pastore put in his last 90,000 from under the gun. "Can I get a count," Andrej Desset joked as he called on the button.
Michael Rocco then three-bet to 350,000 and Desset folded.
Jonathan Pastore: 5♥5♠
Michael Rocco: J♥9♥
Rocco hit his jack on the 8♠J♠3♦ flop, while Pastore, emulating Desset, picked up a flush draw on the 6♠ turn. But unlike Desset, his draw failed to hit on the 7♥ river as last year's runner-up was sent to the rail.
