Chidwick Runs into a House; Chen and Guillen All In

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Alex Lynskey has continued to be a pain to the notable pros at his table. The last player to come off worst against him was Stephen Chidwick.

Around 7,500 chips had made it into the middle by the time the board rested as {5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Lynskey over-bet the pot to the tune of 9,000 and Chidwick called after giving it some serious thought. Lynskey opened {4-Spades}{5-Spades} for a full house and Chidwick mucked.

"All in, call, table 28," was the cry from the dealer.

Angel Guillen and Pete Chen were the two players all in but both had ace-king. The board ran {q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Chen was free rolling the turn as he had the {a-Hearts}, both took their chips back at the end of the hand though.

Seidel Sliding

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

With approximately 8,000 in the pot and a board reading {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel bet 5,800 from the big blind into his opponent in the hijack. A call was made, and then the dealer burned one last time before putting out the {6-Diamonds} river, which double-paired the board.

Seidel opted to check, and his opponent did the same. Seidel showed the {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for two pair with an ace kicker, but it was no good as the hijack held a bigger two pair with the {j-Spades}{a-Spades}.

Schiffbauer Can't Bluff Kho

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Rob Schiffbauer is coming off a 72nd-place finish in the 2015 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event for $20,580. He's looking to make it back-to-back main event cashes in this one, but his work will certainly be cut out for him after a failed bluff attempt saw him drop down to 8,000 in chips.

On the final board of {A-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades} and about 9,000 in the middle, Kitson Kho checked to Schiffbauer. Schiffbauer bet 5,100, and Kho went into the tank. After some deep thought, Kho made the call, and Schiffbauer turned over the {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} for two pair. Kho showed the {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} for a flush, and he won the pot.

"Nice call," complimented Schiffbauer to Kho after the hand.

Rast Busts a Shorty; Polk's Day is Done

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante
Doug Polk
Doug Polk

Brian Rast has been quietly building his stack here on Day 1c. Most recently he sent a shorty home by winning a race. Rast held the {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and was up against an opponent, who was in for roughly 7,000, holding the {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. The {5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop contained a jack, but it was alright for Rast as it also had a third five. Neither the {7-Diamonds} turn nor {K-Clubs} river changed a thing, and Rast climbed over 50K.

Meanwhile, we saw World Series of Poker bracelet winner and online pro Doug "WCGRider" Polk wandering the tournament floor.

"How goes it?" we inquired.

"Lost. I removed my my chips," Polk offered. "I removed all of them."
