Rocco Doesn't Take the Bait
Level 19
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Michael Rocco raised to 160,000 from the button and Tyler Stafman defended the big blind to see a flop of 8♣5♣K♥.
Stafman checked and then called a small bet of 100,000 from Rocco.
Both players then checked the 3♣ turn and the 10♠ completed the board on the river. Stafman checked for a third time and Rocco checked it back.
Stafman had been slowplaying the nuts and tabled the A♣2♣, which prompted Rocco to muck his cards.
