Rock-owitz Crusher

We joined the action on the flop as the dealer was spreading out {6-Hearts} {5-Spades} {K-Diamonds}. In a heads-up pot, Jesse Rockowitz led out with a two-thirds-pot bet of 10,000. In position, Jason Young made a mini-raise to 20,000, and Rockowitz quickly made the call.

The turn came the {J-Spades}, and Rockowitz checked to the raiser. Young moved all in for about 65,000 total, and Rockowitz tank-called after several minutes, having his opponent covered by just one single black T100 chip. Cards up, gents:

Rockowitz: {Q-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}
Young: {K-Spades} {Q-Spades}

Young was well out in front and in fine shape to double up, needing to fade just the two offsuit fives in order to win the pot. The river {8-Diamonds} was most certainly a safe card, and that pushes Young up to a very healthy 244,000.

Rockowitz's final chip went into the pot for the next hand's ante, and he was eliminated.
