Rosenblum Heads To Limit

A short-stacked Russell Rosenblum was keen to double up or bust out to go and register in the $10,000 Limit Hold'em World Championship.

In the first hand he managed to double up with his {9-Spades}{10-Spades} outdrawing an opponent's {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} on a nine-high board. He then lost most of it again when his pocket eights fell to {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs} when an ace spiked on the flop.

Finally Rosenblum lost a race with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} against {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} when the board ran out {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} to finally bust out as he heads across the Amazon Room to play a little Limit Hold'em.
