Ruthenberg Rises, Shchemelev Slips

Level 16
Sebastian Ruthenberg
Sebastian Ruthenberg

Pot-Limit Omaha

Sebastian Ruthenberg opened for 26,000 from the button and got two callers in Roman Yitzhaki (SB) and Vladimir Shchemelev (BB).

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts}. Yitzhaki checked, Shchemelev bet 60,000, Ruthenberg called, and Yitzhaki folded. The turn brought the {A-Hearts}, and this time Shchemelev checked. Ruthenberg bet 110,000, and Shchemelev called.

The river was the {9-Diamonds}. Shchemelev checked again, and Ruthenberg carved out a bet of 135,000. Shchemelev made the call.

Ruthenberg turned over {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} for aces full of sixes, and Shchemelev mucked. Ruthenberg moves up to 1.04 million after taking that big pot, while Shchemelev slips to 565,000.
