Rocha Secures Double Knockout
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Scott Martin moved all in from early position for 6,500 and was called by Jason Rocha in the hijack. Action folded to John Catena in the big blind, who three-bet jammed for 25,600. Rocha asked for a count before making the quick call, covering both players.
Scott Martin: 3♥3♦ 
John Catena: A♠K♠
Jason Rocha: 8♠8♣
Rocha was ahead with pocket eights versus Martin's underpair and Catena's big slick, and had his opponents almost drawing dead after the 8♦2♥6♣ flop gave him top set.
The Q♦ turn confirmed the pot was heading to Rocha and his opponents were for the rail, and the 9♣ river completed the board.
