Rocco Pots Nuts
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Michael Rocco raised to 105,000 from the hijack before Ryan Hughes flat-called in the cutoff. Rocco checked to Hughes on the Q♦J♠9♥ flop, after which the latter made a bet of 75,000.
Rocco called before both players checked the K♠ turn. On the 8♥ river, Rocco threw in a pot-sized bet of 435,000. Hughes spent a few moments in the tank before sliding in a call.
Rocco tabled A♦10♠7♠4♠2♣ for the nut straight and raked in the pot when Hughes' cards were added to the muck.
