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.
