Hellmuth Trending Up Again
Level 12
Hal Rotholz: XxXx / 5xJxAx7x / Xx
Phil Hellmuth: XxXx 7 6x9x4x2x / Xx
Scott Seiver had completed but folded when Hal Rotholz raised and Phil Hellmuth made it three bets, while Rotholz stuck around. Hellmuth then bet his lead from fourth to sixth street before he opted to check seventh street. Rotholz checked behind and Hellmuth announced a number two, turning over the 4x3xAx to win the pot.
One table over, Dan Cates earned a double for 48,000 in a Stud Hi-Lo hand against Freddy Deeb when his pair of eights was good enough against an inferior pair and missed low draw.
