Maue Stands Up to Rocco
Level 20
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Michael Rocco raised to 160,000 from early position, as he had done a couple of times on the bubble with great success. Big blind Leonard Maue made the call, and the pair saw a flop of 7♠J♣2♥.
Maue checked and Rocco fired a continuation-bet of 80,000. Maue then responded with a raise to 225,000 and Rocco swiftly folded his hand, marking the first hand the chip leader had lost since the start of hand-for-hand play.
