Rothstein Takes Down Three-Way Pot with Higher Full House

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Michael Linster opened for 225,000 on the button and was called by Russell Rothstein from the small blind, along with Mitchell Brown from the big blind to see a {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop.

Action was checked to Linster who bet 250,000 and was called by both opponents.

The {4-Hearts} turn along with the {4-Spades} river were checked down. Both Linster and Brown held a five in their hand but that was no good as Rothstein tabled {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} to take down the pot.
