Rothschild Takes a Big One

Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Luke Rothschild raised to 10,000 under the gun, and it folded to Mykhailo Lendel on the button, and he called. After the blinds folded, the two players were heads up.

Lendel called a bet of 15,000 from Rothschild after the JJ5 flop.

After the 7 on the turn, Rothschild bet out 30,000, which Lendel again called.

The river was the J and Rothschild checked to Lendel, who bet 70,000. After looking disgusted by the bet, Rothschild did make the call.

Lendel announced, "ace high" and Rothschild quickly turned over 77 for a full house, jacks full of sevens.
