Michael Rocco opened 120,000 in the cutoff and James Chen defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♥6♦5♠, and Chen check-called a continuation bet of 165,000.
The 8♥ fell on the turn and both players checked to the J♠ river, where they checked once again. Chen rolled 8♠4♥ for a pair of eights and Rocco took down the pot with J♦10♦ for a pair of jacks.
Action continued on the following hand.
Rocco opened the hijack to 120,000 and Fahredin Mustafov came along in the big blind.
Both players checked to the Q♠7♦5♠8♥3♣ river where Mustafov bet 60,000 and Rocco quickly called.
Mustafov tabled K♠3♦ for king-high and Rocco tabled K♣7♠ to win with a pair of sevens.
