False Alarm

We had some television screens on set to help follow the action all day but for some reason they're now just displaying the WTP logo. So we can' tell you exactly what happened in a PLO hand between Australia (Tony G) and China (David Chiu).

We know Chiu raised pre-flop and Tony G called from the blinds. Tony G check-called a continuation bet on a {J-} {K-} {5-} rainbow flop. When the turn fell {9-Clubs}, the G led out at the pot, prompting Chiu to dive deep into the think-tank. Chiu finally raised enough to put Australia all in. Tony G made a snap call.

Apparently both teams had the same hand, with no re-draws to a better hand. We guess that hand was {Q-} {10-} for the nut straight but it was a little unclear. In any event, after the river was dealt the pot was chopped and the gallery went back to sleep.
