Rocco Takes Chip Lead
Level 22
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel opened to 240,000 from early position with 10♦9♣ and found a call from Michael Rocco in the big blind holding Q♣9♠.
The 9♦A♣A♦ flop saw Rocco check to Kabrhel, who continued for 220,000. Rocco then slid out a check-raise to 650,000, with Kabrhel calling to the 2♦ turn.
Rocco checked again and was facing a bet of 780,000 from Kabrhel. The call was made to the 6♥ river.
Another check from Rocco brought a check back from Kabrhel. Rocco showed his queen kicker to go with two pair, taking over the chip lead from Kabrhel.
