. Van Alstyne instantly moved all in for 596,000, Chiu made the call, and Seed folded.

PLO:

David Chiu raised preflop from the cutoff to 55,000 and Matt Dorin called in the big blind.

{J-Hearts}

Dorin checked, Chiu bet 115,000 and Dorin check-raised for most of his stack. Chiu set him in and Dorin quickly called.

Chiu: {K-Hearts}

Dorin:

Dorin was ahead with top set and flush blockers, and Chiu needed one of six hearts that didn't pair the board or a king to eliminate Dorin.

The turn was the {7-Spades}

giving Chiu three additional tens as outs, but the river was the {5-Spades}

. Chiu is down to about 1.2 million. Dorin up to 1.6 million.
