Chicotsky Crumbles Then Rebuilds

Chicotsky crippled, but doesn't give up hope
Chicotsky crippled, but doesn't give up hope
David 'The Maven' Chicotsky opened the pot to 1,050 from early position, before being raised to 2,875 from an opponent in the hi-jack.

With the action back on Chicotsky he reraised to 5,075, only to have his opponent fire again; pushing for all his chips.

Chicotsky made the call for 19,225 total and the cards were tabled.

Chicotsky: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The board would run out {K-Spades}{A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{J-Spades} to see Chicotsky crippled to 900.

A few hands later he would double, and then another double to see him sit with 5,400 after his {J-Clubs}{3-Clubs} made trips against an opponent's {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Bowker Busts Opponent

We caught the action on the river with the board reading {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades} to find Kyle 'kwob20' Bowker faced with a 2,000-chip bet.

Bowker decided that a 10,000-chip raise was in order to effectively put his opponent all in.

His opponent obliged tabling {9-Hearts}{7-Spades} for two-pair, however it would be Bowker's {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a rivered straight to take down the pot and climb to 27,600 in chips as his opponent called it a night.

Friedberg Fried

Catching the action with the board reading {4-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, Jon Friedberg lead out for 3,800 only to be put all in by his opponent.

Friedberg made the call and tabled his {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for flopped trips, however it would be his opponent's {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} which had a kicker that was inches ahead.

The river would see the {7-Clubs} land and Friedberg sent to the rail.

Wasicka Walks

Wasicka heading home

We ventured over to Paul Wasicka's table to find his seat empty.

Talking to one of the players on the table, Jonas 'TULKAZ' Klauson, Klauson had called a raise from Wasicka preflop to see a flop of {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} fall.

Wasicka fired at the pot with Klauson making the call. The turn landed the {Q-Hearts} and Wasicka moved all in with Klauson making the call.

Wasicka: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Klauson: {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Drawing to a chop on the river with a nine, or a double with any heart to make a flush, the river would blank out and Wasicka would head to the river.

Nick Frangos eliminated

Nick Frangos has just been eliminated when he put all his chips in the middle holding {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and was called by an opponent holding {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

The window card would drop the {10-Clubs}, but when the flop fell down {10-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} Frangos was left drawing slim.

The {8-Clubs} on the turn gave him chop outs, but when the river landed the {5-Hearts} Frangos headed to the rail.
