Rotholz Bounces Back

Hal Rotholz

Limit Hold'em

Hal Rotholz recalled in the break that he had been down to as little as 80,000 in chips before he scored a crucial double when his redraw with the same nut straight got there. Ever since, things appear to have been running smooth again and he just dragged in another pot.

Renan Bruschi was spotted leading the A♦K♦7♦4♣4♥ river out of the small blind and Rotholz then raised on the button.

"Really? You have a set?" Bruschi asked and sigh-called. Rotholz tabled his A♠A♣ for aces full and Bruschi mucked the Q♦10♦ for the flopped nut flush.

Koray Aldemir and Yingui Li are no longer on the table while Benny Glaser had been moved there.

With the flop showing K♦6♦6♥, Michael Rocco in the cutoff bet 4,500. Dylan Weisman on the button raised to 20,500 and Rocco folded.

Weisman then raised to 6,500 in the cutoff and Phil Hui defended the big blind. On a flop of 6♥5♣2♣, Hui check-called for 8,500 and did so again for 42,000 on the J♥ turn. That led them to the 6♠ river on which Hui checked once more.

Weisman fired out a bet worth 110,000 and Hui quickly called.

"You got it," Weisman said and flashed the 9♠7♥ for a missed gutshot. Hui had that beat with 2♦2♠ for a full house to rake in a decent pot.

Level 5

No-Limit Hold'em

On a Jx10x4x2xKx board, James Obst bet 105,000 and called a shove from Dzmitry Urbanovich for his last 201,000.

Urbanovich held QxJx but Obst had rivered two pair with KxJx and sent Urbanovich to the rail.

Seven Card Stud

In the previous hand, Dzmitry Urbanovich had busted in a big No-Limit Hold'em pot to James Obst.

Phil Ivey: XxXx / 8♦10♣10♦ — folded on fifth street
Rob Hollink: XxXx / 2♦Q♠5♣ — folded on fifth street
James Obst: XxXx / A♦4♦A♣2♣ / Xx
Saya Ono: XxXx / 10♠6♠10♥6♦ / Xx — folded on seventh street

Rob Hollink brought in, James Obst completed and got calls from Saya Ono, Phil Ivey and Hollink.

Obst checked fourth street and Ono bet. Ivey and Hollink called before Obst raised and got three callers.

"What about me?" Hollink asked the dealer after everyone but him paired on fifth street. Obst bet and Ono was the only caller.

Ono double-paired on sixth street and Obst called a bet. Ono checked seventh street and Obst bet. Ono eventually folded.

Limit Hold’em

Maksim Pisarenko raised on the button and was three-bet by Joao Vieira from the small blind. Pisarenko called.

Vieira bet on the 5♣10♠Q♣ flop and Pisarenko raised. Vieira called.

The Q♠ fell on the turn and Vieira check-called a bet from Pisarenko.

Both players checked on the 8♠ river and Vieira revealed Q♥10♦ for a full house. Pisarenko said, "I'm surprised you have a full house there!" as he mucked.

Level 5

Seven Card Stud

Elior Sion: K♠Q♠/J♠5♠8♣6♠/3♠
Roman Yitzhaki: XxXx/K♣7♠J♦A♣/Xx

Elior Sion completed with the jack and was called by Roman Yitzhaki.

Sion bet on fourth street. Yitzhaki made the call.

Fifth street saw both players check to sixth street where Yitzhaki took over the betting lead. Sion responded with a raise, which Yitzhaki called.

Sion bet again on the river. Yitzhaki quickly called but unsurprisingly was unable to overcome Sion's king high flush to send the Brit some more chips as he continues to build his stack back up.

Razz

Paul Volpe: XxXx / 7xQxAxKx folded on sixth street
Dario Sammartino: XxXx / 5x3x4x2x

Dario Sammartino bet all the way from fourth to sixth street. Paul Volpe eventually folded on sixth when his runout got even worse.

Dario Sammartino: XxXx / 8x10x6x5x / Xx
Paul Volpe: XxXx / 9x10x5x8x / Xx

Sammartino then completed with an eight and Volpe called with a nine. Sammartino bet his advantage all the way to sixth street with Volpe coming along. On seventh, Sammartino slowed down and checked. Volpe bet and forced a reluctant fold.
