Wahlbeck Chipping Away

Stud:

Ville Wahlbeck (X) (X) {10-Spades} {K-Spades} {Q-Spades}
Scott Dorin (X) (X) {4-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {10-Hearts}

David Chiu had the bring-in with the {2-Spades}, Ville Wahlbeck completed, Scott Dorin raised, Chiu folded and Wahlbeck called.

Wahlbeck led out on fourth street and Dorin called. With three suited Broadway cards, he led out again on fifth, but Dorin gave it up.

Still Anybody's Game

After he took down a stud pot from David Chiu with a flush, the lead has swung around to Scott Dorin, but it's really still anybody's game.

Scott Dorin 2,700,000
Ville Wahlbeck 1,800,000
David Chiu 1,500,000

David Needs New Chiu-s!

Stud-8:

David Chiu has been knocked back to 1.2 million after another hand didn't go his way.

Chiu: {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Dorin: {6-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {5-Hearts}

Wahlbeck brought in, Dorin raised, and Chiu called with the Finn folding. Dorin continued to fire as his board got progressively better, the {5-Hearts} on 6th street was too much for Chiu, who folded promptly.

Chiu-ed Up

No-Limit Hold'em:

On a flop of {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {4-Spades}, David Chiu bet 250,000 and Ville Wahlbeck called. Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} on the turn and the {J-Spades} on the river.

Wahlbeck turned up {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for a turned pair of nines and Chiu mucked.

Chiu is now below a million in chips.

Top Two for Chiu

Pot-Limit Omaha:

On a flop of {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} {7-Hearts}, David Chiu led out for 150,000 and Scott Dorin called. Both players checked the {7-Clubs} on the turn and the {8-Clubs} on the river.

Chiu turned up A-K-Q-9 for top two pair, besting Dorin's A-Q-9-3 to take down the pot.

Scott Nothing!

Can he 'Finnish' it?
Can he 'Finnish' it?
PLO:

The board is reading {10-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {J-Clubs} and Ville Wahlbeck is facing a 550,000 chip bet from Scott Dorin. It's the most substantial pot we've seen in a while, and Wahlbeck tanks for a few minutes before calling. Dorin mucks when Wahlbeck shows {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} for the straight.

Dorin is down to about 1 million chips and the Finn is the chip leader by some distance now.

Wahlbeck turned up 7-6-4-3-2. Dorin couldn't beat it with his 9-low and exited in third place. He'll take home $199,940 for a hard-fought battle.
