Brooks Doubles Through Rocco
Level 3
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Michael Rocco limped from the cutoff. John Brooks called from the small blind and Daniel Negreanu checked his option from the big blind.
Brooks led out for 5,000 on the 2?4?5? flop. Negreanu called before Rocco raised to 20,000. Only Brooks made the call.
Brooks checked the 9? turn and Rocco bet enough to put him all-in. The bet was for 67,500 and after a bit of thought, Brooks made the call.
John Brooks : 8?5? 
Michael Rocco: 6?4?
Rocco couldn't find the help he needed on the river as the 2? came. With that, Brooks would double up with his pair of fives.
