Rotholz Scoops Kosakowski on Seventh

Level 19

Stud Hi-Lo

Gary Kosakowski: {x-}{x-} / {q-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} / {x-}
Hal Rotholz: {x-}{x-} / {4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} / {x-}

Hal Rotholz bet through until sixth and Gary Kosakowski called the whole way. Both players checked sixth and Rotholz fired on seventh, Kosakowski called.

Kosakowski tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for two pair but it was not good as Rotholz showed {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for three treys, sending the pot to Rotholz on seventh street.

Hal Rotholz: {x-}{x-} / {8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Each player had about three bets in front of them on fifth street when Gary Kosakowski pushed in a bet. "Come on, next hand let's go," laughed Kosakowski and Rotholz obliged, releasing his hand as Kosakowski took down the pot.

Anderson Survives Elimination

Level 21

Omaha Hi-Lo

Stephanie Anderson moved all in from the button for around 11,000, Hal Ratholz and Jason Shapot called from the blinds. The dealer fanned out {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} on the flop and Rotholz bet. Shapot folded and the remaining two tabled their hands.

Stephanie Anderson: {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Hal Rotholz: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The {8-Spades} landed on the turn and Anderson needed a six to stay alive. A very unlikely {6-Clubs} hit the felt on the river, saving Anderson's day as she found a triple up with her full house.
