Chancing Your Chips

Since the third level has ended, all players are now having to get their second chance chips. For each player, there can be no more mistakes from now on.

Fitoussi Counterfeits Juanda For A Scoop

[user76023]
[user76023]
On a {A-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {7-Spades} board, Bruno Fitoussi bets out 4,000 and after some serious deliberation, John Juanda moves all-in and Erick Lindgren folds.

Fitoussi flips over {8-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} for the straight and a 4-3 low and he finds himself freerolling against Juanda's {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}.

The river is the {3-Clubs} and this means Juanda can only make a 7-6-3-2-A but Fitoussi can make a 6-5-4-3-A for the low to go with his 8-high straight for the high.

Fitoussi is back up to 16,000 and Juanda has about 4,000 left.

Scott No Clements-cy

[user76023]
[user76023]
Andy Bloch and another player have chopped up most of Scott Clements' stack.

Bloch: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {3-Spades} {A-Hearts}
Clements: {A-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}
Other Player: {A-Spades} {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}

The board was {9-Hearts} {6-Spades} {J-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} meaning that Bloch took the high half with his queens and chopped the low with the third player as Clements could only make the second nut-low.

Clements has been crippled as a result.

Almost 200...
