Rotholz Runs It Up
Hal Rotholz: 9x7xAx/Qx8x6xKx
David "ODB" Baker: AxAx3x/5xJxAx6x
Jeff Lisandro: XxXx/4x4x - folded fourth street
A short-stacked Hal Rotholz defended his bring-in against Jeff Lisandro and David "ODB" Baker, and then after Lisandro paired his four on fourth and Baker bet his jack with the lead, Rotholz raised, folding Lisandro out of the hand.
The players checked fifth street, and despite catching a king on sixth and Baker catching a six, Rotholz called a bet, leaving himself just slightly more than one big bet behind.
On seventh street, Baker bet and Rotholz called. Baker showed a pair of aces and a three in the hole for jack low, while Rotholz had called correctly, making a rough nine on the end.
Hal Rotholz: 6x5x2x/AxAx4xKx
Marco Johnson: XxXxXx/6x2xQxJx
Jeff Lisandro: XxXx/Ax8x10x - folded fifth street
Shortly after, Rotholz was involved in another big hand that went to seventh street.
Picking action up on fifth street, Jeff Lisandro had the betting lead and checked to Rotholz who bet. Marco Johnson raised, and Lisandro opted to fold, leaving the pot heads-up.
On sixth street, Johnson bet and Rotholz called again, needing to hit something on seventh street with a pair and a king up.
Seventh street came and after Johnson checked, Rotholz bet, receiving a call from Johnson to see that Rotholz had made a six-four on the river to take another sizeable pot.
