Rotholz Can't Scoop With a Monster

Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Bill Kohler placed in a full bet with the {4-Spades}. While Ernest Bohn folded, Hal Rotholz had other plans and raised it up with the {6-Clubs}. Kohler called, then called another bet on fourth street.

Kohler spiked a third low card on fifth street, and Rotholz check-called a bet. Kohler was first to act on sixth street after receiving a king, and he led out, earning another call from Rotholz.

The pot was already huge, and the action heated up even more on the river, with Kohler leading again. Rotholz raised, and Kohler called to see the showdown.

Hal Rotholz: {X-}{X-} / {6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{3-Hearts} / {X-}
Bill Kohler: {X-}{X-} / {4-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} / {X-}

Rotholz turned up a huge hand, holding {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{A-Hearts} in the hole for a straight and six-five low. Kohler looked to be beaten, but then he double-checked Rotholz's board and eventually rolled over his {A-}{2-}{3-} for six-smooth.

"Wow. What a slowroll," Rotholz said when he observed that he didn't scoop. "Almost a hand for a blog," he added.

While chops aren't usually a popular thing to read about, this one deserved a mention.
