Michael Rocco brought it in with the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

up. Action folded around to Al Barbieri, and he raised it up with the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

in the door. Rocco makes the call.

Rocco: x-x / {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{A-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

/ x
Barbieri: x-x / {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

/ x

On fourth and fifth streets, Rocco bet out, and Barbieri called. Both men checked on sixth. On seventh, Rocco again bet out, getting a call. He announced, "Two pair," but held his cards for a moment. Barbieri turned over a better two pair, as he exposed {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

for jacks up.

On the very next hand, Rocco again held two pair and ran into a higher two pair.
