James Cheung: XxXx/3♣ - folded on third street
James Cheung called the bring-in and Thomas Savitsky completed with his king. Hal Rotholz defended his big blind and Cheung got out of the way.
Rotholz called a bet from Savitsky on fourth street and then raised after Savitsky bet again on fifth. Savitsky re-raised to put Rotholz all in and Rotholz committed his remaining chips into the middle.
Rotholz held two pair against Savitsky's trip kings and was looking to fill up, but Rotholz's board bricked out and he was eliminated in ninth place.
