Lamb Can't Hold Against Chidwick's Open-Ender

Level 7 : 0/0, 6,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick limped in the hijack with {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Ben Lamb pumped the price to 70,000 in the cutoff, holding {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. Chidwick called.

The {7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} brought an open-ended straight draw for Chidwick and a top pair for Lamb. Chidwick checked and Lamb bet an effective 315,000. Chidwick was ready to go for it, putting all his chips to the middle.

Lamb had a blocker but Chidwick was still able to hit a straight right on the {J-Clubs} turn. Lamb could still recover with a jack or a queen but the {7-Clubs} river locked a huge double for Chidwick. Lamb, who built a decent chip-stack after a rough start, was downed to 197,000.

Chidwick Clipped by Patgorski

Level 7 : 0/0, 6,000 ante

In a hand from earlier at one of the feature tables, Gabe Patgorski limped in under the gun holding {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and Peter Jetten called with {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Action folded to Chidwick who made it 60,000 with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and Patgorski moved all in over the top of that for 456,000. Jetten folded while Chidwick called.

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and that allowed Patgorski to double up to around 950,000 while Chidwick was left with around 427,000.

Chow Eliminates Leow

Level 7 : 0/0, 6,000 ante

Ivan Leow limped in the second position and Chow Hing Yaung checked his options. The {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} landed on the table and Leow fired 25,000. Chow quickly raised to 75,000 and Leow called.

They continued to the {10-Diamonds} turn where Leow checked and called for his last 135,000 after Chow put him at risk. Leow found himself in terrible shape and the {8-Clubs} eliminated him from Day 1a while Chow extended his overwhelming chip lead.

Lim Jams the Flop

Level 7 : 0/0, 6,000 ante

Following three limps, Marcus Yi Lim raised to 52,000 on the button with {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Chow Hing Yaung called with {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and Ivan Leow also wanted to see the flop with {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

The {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} texture favored Lim and he moved all in for 204,000, just over the size of the pot. Both of his opponents laid their hands down and Lim claimed the pot.

Chow Continues Amassing

Level 7 : 0/0, 6,000 ante
Chow Hing Yaung
Chow Hing Yaung

Ben Lamb and Marcus Yi Lim limped in for 12,000 before Chow Hing Yaung made it 75,000 in the cutoff. Cheong Cheok Ieng called while Lamb and Yim Lim both folded.

The flop was {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Chow led out with a bet of 110,000 and Cheong called.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and now Chow put out a bet of 160,000 which Cheong called.

On the {Q-Spades} river, Chow shoved with his covering stack for about 200,000 effective. Cheong tanked for about a minute and a half before he called. Chow showed his {10-Hearts}{9-Spades} while Cheong was only holding {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and that meant that Chow would take down another pot, chipping up to nearly 2 million chips.

Leow's Last Bullet Dusted

Level 7 : 0/0, 6,000 ante

Yee Leow Seng was all in for last 57,000 with {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, facing off against Marcus Yi Lim with {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}. Lim flopped a straight on {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades} and the {A-Clubs} left Leow drawing dead. A meaningless {6-Diamonds} completed the board and Leow lost his final bullet. Leow might still re-enter today or tomorrow if he decides to pursue more short stack action.
