Roca of Ages

Level 7 : 300/600, 50 ante

Mayu Roca has gone from merely average-y to a 100,000 big stack since the dinner break. Since busting Antonin Teisseire immediately after returning from the break, Roca has picked up a very chunky pot courtesy of Kristoffer Thorsson.

We caught it from the turn of the {6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} board, when Roca checked and then called 10,000 from Thorsson. They saw a {4-Clubs} river and again Roca checked. This time Thorsson bet 15,000, which prompted an epic spell in the tank from Roca. He tanked up long enough for the clock to be called, and he was down to seven seconds on the countdown before he announced call. Thorsson turned over a nice-on-the-turn but nothing-on-the-river {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} - and Roca's {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} was good to take the pot.

The river bluff meant that Thorsson dropped to 26,400; Roca's good call meanwhile put him in possession of a century.
