Rotholz Doesn't Get Maxx Value

Level 17

Stud Hi-Lo

Maxx Coleman: XxXx / Q266 / Xx
Hal Rotholz: AA / 41088 / 5

Maxx Coleman completed and then called a raise by Hal Rotholz, who wound up betting every single street after. He was called down including sixth street by Coleman and then bet in the dark even before the final down card was delivered.

Coleman reluctantly folded and Rotholz first exposed his AA in the hole followed by the 5.

Monnette Getting Short and Frustrated

Level 17

Limit Hold'em

Daniel Alaei opened from under the gun and was called by John Monnette in the big blind.

Monnette checked following the 1079 flop and then called after Alaei bet.

The 7 turn saw Monnette check for a second time. Alaei fired off another bet, this time forcing a fold from Monnette, who was left with around 160,000.

Monnette did manage to secure a double the very next hand courtesy of Alaei but his frustration was apparent during a profanity laced tirade directed towards the dealer.

Obst and Ashton Build a Big Pot

Level 17

Omaha Hi-Lo

James Obst raised on the button and got a call from Matthew Ashton in the big blind.

On the 423 flop, Ashton checked, Obst bet, and then Ashton check-raised which Obst called.

On the 4 turn, Ashton now bet and got raised by Obst. Ashton called and the players went to the river to see the A.

Ashton now check-called a bet from Obst and the players revealed their hands.

Obst showed A965 for a wheel, which would only get him the low as Ashton showed 7633 for a full house of threes full of fours.

A tank of 90 seconds followed before Racener folded.

Hellmuth Doubles

Level 17

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Phil Hellmuth opened to 50,000 from under the gun before Ray Dehkharghani moved all in out of the big blind. Hellmuth, with the shorter stack, considered for some time but ended up committing the rest of his chips.

Dehkharghani took one card while Hellmuth stood pat, tabling 98543. Dehkharghani held 7652 so was drawing very much live. His final card, however, was the 5, pairing his hand and ensuring Hellmuth's survival.
