Rocco Puts Yepez to Decision
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
This hand was picked up on the turn of a board that read 7♥9♣2♥J♠ with about 800,000 already in the middle.
Luis Yepez bet 425,000 on the turn from under the gun before Michael Rocco popped it to 1,125,000. Yepez made the call to continue in the hand.
The 3♥ turn resulted in a check from Yepez before Rocco sized up a large bet and put out 2,700,000. Yepez had 2,600,000 behind, which meant that should he call, he would be doing so for his tournament life.
Yepez went deep into the tank as he agonized over the situation. Yepez eventually threw his cards in the muck as Rocco won the pot wihtout a showdown on the river.
