Rocco Doubles With Ace High
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Michael Rocco opened to 80,000 from under the gun and was called by Toby Joyce in the big blind.
Joyce checked following the 6♦2♥8♥ flop. Rocco continued for 120,000 only to see Joyce put in a raise to 375,000. Rocco decided to move all in for 1,165,000 and was snapped off by his opponent.
Michael Rocco: A♥7♠ 
Toby Joyce: K♥10♥
Rocco was a very slight favorite with his ace high blocker against the flush draw and two live cards of Joyce. The remaining J♦Q♦ runout was clean for Rocco to hand him a full double.
