Christian Toboc Eliminated in 13th Place ($7,260)

Toboc or not Toboc, that is the question
Toboc or not Toboc, that is the question
Ok, now this is complicated.

Toboc was all in on third street, with Matt Savage, Richie Sklar and Zak Gilbert all calling.

The betting continued until Gilbert was all in on 5th street, creating a side pot.

Betting continued between Savage and Sklar on 6th and 7th, creating a decent side-side pot.

The hands:

Toboc: {9-Clubs} {10-Spades} {J-Hearts} {4-Clubs} ({9-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {6-Clubs}) for a pair of nines to send him to the rail
Gilbert: {5-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} ({8-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}) for an ace-high flush to win the high on the main pot and his side pot
Savage: {3-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {5-Spades} {J-Spades} ({2-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {9-Hearts}) for for the entire low
Sklar: {8-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} ({A-Spades} {A-Clubs} {3-Spades}) for the high on his side pot only

Clear? Good.

Result:

Toboc: out
Gilbert: 90,000
Savage: 150,000
Sklar: 80,000

Phew.

Savage Outdraw for Kohler

Matt Savage was determined to get his chips in, raising on 6th street to a bet from William Kohler and then raising all in to another bet on 7th. Kohler called with a flush for the high, and Savage only got half the pot with his wheel.

Savage: {5-Spades} {2-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {3-Spades} ({4-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs})
Kohler: {6-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {K-Spades} ({7-Diamonds} and two more diamonds)

Everyone's a Winner

Another straight-up chop, this time between Allie Prescott who took the low and Richie Sklar who got the low.

Prescott: {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {10-Spades} {J-Clubs} ({8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts})
Sklar: {5-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} ({A-Spades} {4-Spades} {6-Diamonds})

Current score: Sklar 160,000, Prescott 220,000.

Early Chop for Gilbert

Zak Gilbert tangled with relative big stack William Kohler, betting on 5th street when we caught up with the action and then calling bets from Kohler on 6th and 7th street.

The result: a chop.

Gilbert: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {9-Hearts} ({5-Spades} {7-Spades} {2-Hearts}) for the high
Kohler: {3-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} {8-Hearts} {6-Spades} {2-Clubs}) for the low

Gilbert's perched on 95,000; Kohler is lord and master of 225,000.
