Chris George Continues to Crush

Level 21

Hold 'Em

Michele Limongi opened for a raise and Chris George called out of the big blind. The flop came {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and George check-called a Limongi bet. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and George led out. Limongi called and we would see the {8-Hearts} turned over for the river card. George again led out and after a few moments of thought Limongi made the call. George turned over {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a turned set of fours and Limongi said "ok, good hand" as he turned over {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

Limongi Slipping

Level 21

Omaha 8

We got to the table with a significant pot having been built and Michele Limongi making a bet on the {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} board. Tommy Hang took a while but ultimately made the call tabling {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} for two pair, aces and nines. Limongi couldn't beat it and had no low and mucked his hand.

"What'd you think was going to happen?" Hang asked Limongi as he stacked the pot.

George Soars; Limongi and Boyd Crippled

Level 22

Omaha 8

Chris George raised from early position and found calls from Brandon Guss next door, Michele Limongi on the button and Dutch Boyd in the big blind. The flop came down {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Boyd checked. George continued out and Guss quickly mucked his cards. Limongi came over the top with a raise and both Boyd and George called.

The board paired with the {9-Clubs} on the turn. Boyd checked, George fired out, and both Limongi and Boyd called. The {Q-Spades} hit the river, prompting a third check from Boyd. George led out and Boyd folded his hand out of turn, stating that he thought Limongi was all in. Limongi, in fact, had 5,000 in chips behind and pondered his action. He tanked for about 30 seconds before letting go of his cards, folding what looked to be {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} face up. George flashed {9-Spades}{4-Clubs} for a full house. Limongi was left crippled with just 5,000 in chips while George soared to 710,000.

Michele Limongi Eliminated in 12th Place ($11,605)

Level 22
Michele Limongi
Michele Limongi

Omaha 8

Chris George opened for a raise, Michele Limongi called off his last 5,000, and Dutch Boyd called from the small blind. The flop came {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Boyd checked. George bet and Boyd called off the remainder of his stack. The cards were turned over:

George: {J-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Limongi: {J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Boyd: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Boyd was in the lead with his pair of aces but he would have to fade a ridiculous amount of outs from George if he was going to survive. The turn was the {J-Clubs} giving George a few more outs to eliminate both players. Limongi also had a few more outs to survive as well.

The river was the {A-Hearts} and Boyd clapped his hands, excited to scoop the pot with his trip aces. Limongi was eliminated in 12th place as a result of Boyd's scoop.
