Out-Pipped

Limit Hold'em:

On a flop of {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {2-Spades} Ville Wahlbeck led out and David Chiu called. The turn came the {K-Spades} and Wahlbeck fired again. Chiu raised and Wahlbeck called. Wahlbeck checked the {2-Clubs} on the river, Chiu bet, and Wahlbeck looked him up.

Chiu showed {6-Spades} {10-Spades} for the flush. Wahlbeck frowned and flashed the {8-Spades} {9-Spades} as Chiu raked in the pot.

Mark Gregorich Eliminated in 4th Place ($139,159)

Mark Gregorich - 4th Place
Mark Gregorich - 4th Place
2-7 Triple Draw:

Scott Dorin raised from the cutoff, Mark Gregorich three-bet from the button, Dorin four-bet and Gregorich called all in.

Each player drew two on the first draw. On the second draw Dorin took two while Gregorich drew one. The third draw saw Dorin rap pat and Gregorich draw one.

Gregorich's T-8-5-3-2 was no match for Dorin's 8-6-5-4-2 and he headed to the rail in fourth place to a round of applause from his railbirds. (a rail that is now all but empty after his departure).

In the Last Ten Minutes...

The following happened:

Matusow did not speak for approximately twelve seconds of the 10 minutes.

Phil Hellmuth and Mike Matusow signed a hat for someone.

Every pot (we're playing PLO at the moment) was raise/fold except one which Ville Wahlbeck called Mark Gregorich's raise and then set him in on the {J-Clubs} {5-Spades} {8-Hearts} flop. Gregorich folded.

Any pot Mark Gregorich won saw a ripple of applause from his rail.

Team Gregorich

Mark Gregorich may have the shortest stack at the table, but he has by far the biggest cheering section. Clustered in one corner sweating Gregorich are Phil Hellmuth, Greg Mascio, Robert Mizrachi, Mike Matusow, and former L.A. Dodgers pitcher and current poker aficionado Orel Hershiser, who is proud to call Gregorich his "coach."

Gregorich Treads Water

Razz:

Gregorich: {8-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {3-Spades} {6-Hearts} {4-Spades} {3-Diamonds}
Wahlbeck: {6-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {5-?} X X X X

Despite starting marginally in front, Ville Wahlbeck hit four consecutive bricks as Gregorich made an eight-six low to double back up to 400,000. He's still in deep trouble though.

Ville Ville Good

Omaha-8:

Scott Dorin raises from the cutoff/UTG, Ville Wahlbeck calls in the big blind.

Flop: {3-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {2-Spades}

The Finn checks, Dorin bets 50,000 and Wahlbeck quickly calls.

Turn: {J-Hearts}

Check, check.

River: {4-Diamonds}

Check, check.

Wahlbeck shows {A-Spades} {6-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} for a pair of threes and an A-6 low, Dorin can't believe he gets scooped after his powerhouse flop hand of {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {8-?} {K-Diamonds} gets absolutely nothing.

Huck Seed Eliminated in 5th Place ($102,286)

Limit hold'em:

On a flop of {Q-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}, David Chiu led out, Huck Seed raised and Chiu called. The turn was the {2-Clubs}. Chiu checked, Seed bet his last 76,000 and Chiu called.

Seed {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Chiu {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

Seed was ahead with queens and deuces, but Chiu hit his flush on the river when the {5-Hearts} fell. Seed hit the rail in fifth place while Chiu increased his stack to 2.5 million.
