Roothlus Action
In a battle of the blinds, Adam Levy opened to 480,000 from the small and Benjamin Statz called from the big.
The flop brought and all of the action. Levy checked and Statz bet 400,000 before getting check-raised to 1.025 million. Statz popped it right back to 2 million straight and Levy wasn't going anywhere. He moved all in for 4.6 million and Statz called to put him at risk with a pot of more than 10 million chips up for grabs.
Showdown
Levy:
Statz:
"I am so screwed," Statz astutely noted. He was drawing dead to his four-out gutshot straight (or running, non-pairing clubs, if you're scoring at home). The turn was safe and clean for "Roothlus", and the river filled him up and doubled his stack to 10.28 million.
Statz is wounded now, set back to about 6.4 million after doubling Levy.
