Rotholz Chopped Up

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Pomjun Cha raised to 8,500 from middle position to see James Daniloff call on the button and Hal Rotholz called in the big blind.

Action checks through on the 973 flop to the turn 8 where Rotholz bet 11,000 and received two calls.

On the river 7, Rotholz bet 12,000 and both of his opponents called.

Rotholz tabled KK108 for kings up, which was no good against Daniloff's A1062 for a ten-high straight. Cha showed A984 for an eight-low and he chopped the pot with Daniloff.

Hui Misses All his Outs

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Phil Hui from middle position and Joao Vieira from the cutoff saw the 754 flop after each player committed 16,500 preflop. The remainder of Hui's 75,000 or so chips found their way into the middle, and he was at risk as the slightly covered stack.

Phil Hui: AK103 All in
Joao Vieira: AJ72

Hui had second nut low and the nut flush draw against the top pair and nut low of Vieira. The board ran out 86, leaving Vieira's pair of sevens best for the high, and Hui could not salvage half the pot as he was eliminated.

Ariel Mantel: A422 All in
Ted Jackson-Spivack: A664 All in
Jeff Madsen: A832

Both Mantel and Madsen had a made nut low, while Jackson-Spivack held the nut flush draw.

The board ran out 9Q, giving Jackson-Spivack the nut flush while the others got one quarter with their nut low, and the side pot was chopped.

Yockey Rivers the Nuts

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Belarmino De Souza potted to 10,500 from the hijack and only Bryce Yockey called on the button.

The J42 flop checked through to the 10 turn, which saw De Souza check-call a bet of 20,000 from Yockey.

De Souza took some time before he checked the Q river, Yockey went all-in for just over 25,000, and De Souza quickly called.

Bryce Yockey: AKJ10 All in
Belarmino De Souza: AxQx5x2x

Yockey turned top two and rivered broadway as he collected the full double from De Souza, who flashed his holdings before mucking.
