Event Info



Torosyan check-called fourth and fifth streets after Rocco bet. He then led out for a bet on sixth street, which Rocco called. On seventh street, Torosyan was left with only 26,000 behind. The boards were:
Torosyan:




Rocco:




Torosyan bet 20,000. Rocco thought it over a long time, then made the call. Torosyan's buried cards were blanks, he only had a pair of deuces.
"That's all you have?" Rocco asked. He flipped his hand and showed a pair of jacks. "YEEEES!" he shouted, clapping his hands.
Barbieri gave him a weird look, then asked why he didn't raise Torosyan all in for his last 6,000 if he was going to call. Rocco didn't respond.
Torosyan managed to triple up once to 18,000, but succumbed on the following hand when Rocco made trip queens. Torosyan played well all afternoon, nursing his short stack as far as he could take it. He earns $50,186 as a result.
