Rotholz Has All the Goods

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

It looked like Grigoriy Shvarts bet 200,000 from the big blind on {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, and Hal Rotholz called from under the gun. Shvarts bet 400,000 on the {q-Diamonds} river and Rotholz slid in a raise to about 900,000. He wasn't even done moving the chips in before Shvarts' cards were in the muck.

Rotholz showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} with a chuckle.

Shvarts Wins Massive Pot to Take Nearly 50% of Chips

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Thomas Parkes opened on the button and called a three-bet to 400,000 from Grigoriy Shvarts. Shvarts continued for 350,000 on the {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop and then 600,000 on the {5-Clubs} turn. Shvarts quickly checked the {5-Spades} river and Parkes bet 1.2 million.

After about three minutes in the tank, Shvarts dropped in the required amount. Parkes turned over {4-}{4-} with a sigh. Shvarts showed {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

"Nice call," Parkes complimented. "I had no choice."

"It was 50/50," Shvarts admitted. "I just go with it."
