Savage Doubles Up AGAIN

[user46392]

Err...
Err...
To raucous cheering from a bunch of pros gathered at the rail, Matt Savage has scooped a pot out of the paws of fellow short stack Tim Vance to more or less triple him up to 35,000.

Vance: {7-Hearts} {4-Spades} {5-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}
Savage: {5-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {7-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}

Vance was screaming for a six to chop it, but it never came. He's down to a mere 6,000.

How Are They Doing?

Things seem to be slowing down a tad, although we have a couple teeny tiny stacks in the form of Tim Vance on 11,000 and Matt Savage on 12,000.

Brian Swinford remains our chip leader on 275,000.

Savage Still In

Matt Savage was down to just a few thousand, which all went in on fourth street; Mike Krescanko called.

Krescanko: {3-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {2-Spades} {4-Clubs} ({2-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts})
Savage: {A-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} ({8-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} ... {6-Diamonds}!)

A miracle flush for Savage and a busted low draw for Krescanko meant that Savage scooped the pot, and remains in on 22,000.

Jelinek Rollercoaster Continues

[user46392]
[user46392]
A now slightly tipsy Steve Jelinek found himself back down to 12,000 -- he merely motioned towards Zak Gilbert, who was raking in a pile of chips. Oh dear.

A few hands later and he was all in on one or another early street with Chad Brown and Allie Prescott in the hand and still betting and raising each other.

It went to showdown and all the cards were flipped -- and Jelinek had pulled a straight out of nowhere to chop the main pot with Prescott's low, and Prescott and Brown chopped the side pot.

Jelinek's back up to a still precarious 19,000.

Jelinek: {Q-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {8-Spades} {J-Hearts} ({10-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {5-Clubs}) for a straight
Brown: {3-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {5-Spades} ({3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} for two pair
Prescott: {4-Spades} {8-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} ({7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {10-Spades}) for the low

Kohler-Call

Jared Davis moved all in on sixth street and William Kohler called -- but Davis' low came in on seventh and he chopped the pot to nudge him up to 35,000.

Davis: {5-Spades} {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {J-Clubs} ({7-Clubs} {2-Spades} {6-Hearts})
Kohler: {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {2-Hearts} ({2-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {8-Diamonds})
