Rocco Is Definitely Not a Rock

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

In poker, the term "Rock" is usually used as a derogatory term for a player who plays next to no hands. Despite having a similar sounding name, Michael Rocco is anything but a rock.

Since returning from dinner break he has three-bet folded, opened the betting at least twice and looks like he really means to take this tournament by the horns and ride it home to victory.

Rocco had the perfect warm-up to the 2013 WSOP when he won a $500 buy-in event at the Borgata at Atlantic City in mid-March for a career-best $113,050 score. Can he better that impressive total here in Las Vegas?
