Rocco Rises Over a Million
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Michael Rocco keeps climbing up the chip leader board, adding even more to his stack after a recent three-way hand.
Maria Konnikova opened to 13,000 from middle position, Brett Mueller in the hijack three-bet to 36,000, Rocco cold called from the button, and Konnikova folded.
The flop came 
, the hijack bet 18,000, and Rocco raised to 90,000. Mueller called, bringing the 
on the river.
Mueller checked, and Rocco kept up the pressure with a bet for 200,000. Mueller tanked for several minutes before folding, taking Rocco over the million-chip mark.
