Rast Eliminated by Vitch

Level 8
Chris Vitch
Chris Vitch

PLO:

Stephen Chidwick limped the button, Brian Rast called from the small blind and Chris Vitch checked the big blind. The dealer spread out {2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} on the flop.

Rast led for 10,500, Vitch raised to 25,000, Chidwick folded and Rast moved his last 28,000 into the middle. Vitch called and turned over {3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a pair and flush draw. Rast showed {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for top pair and a straight draw.

The {a-Clubs} hit on the turn, putting Vitch in the lead with his flush. A {2-Hearts} on the river changed nothing as Vitch took down the pot, eliminating Rast from the tournament.

Yu Sits, Ohel Takes Chips From Him

Level 8

Omaha Hi-Lo:

Ben Yu recently entered the tournament and he's wearing an outfit eerily familiar to another player in the tournament. He's wearing a black jacket, PokerGo hat, and a blue collared shirt, much like Cary Katz wears on a regular basis.

In Yu's first hand, Randy Ohel opened with a raise. Ben Yu called in the big blind.

The flop was {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Yu checked. Ohel bet. Yu called.

On the {A-Diamonds} turn, both players checked and the {8-Clubs} came on the river. There, Yu checked. Ohel bet and Yu called.

"Ten-seven-deuce," Ohel said for a low and straight. Yu mucked.

"Can we get this guy out of here," Yu said, motioning to Ohel, jokingly.
