Like That, Chanthabouasy is Gone

Steve Chanthabouasy - eliminated
Steve Chanthabouasy - eliminated

Steve Chanthabouasy was one of the overnight chip leaders. But PLO8 is a cruel game. Chanthabouasy didn't even make the Day 2 dinner break.

On his final hand, Chanthabouasy called Barry Greenstein's opening raise of 3,200. The two were joined to the {7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop by Bruno Fitoussi. That's where the action really picked up. Greenstein opened for 6,000 and was called by Chanthabouasy. Fitoussi raised to 30,000, which prompted Greenstein to move all in. Chanthabouasy called all in for less and then Fitoussi also called!

Greenstein: {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, two pair and the second-nut low draw
Chanthabouasy: {a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Spades}, the nut low draw
Fitoussi: {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, a pair of kings and the nut low draw

"I was just trying to move him out," said Greenstein about Chanthabouasy. Instead they wound up in a three-way all in, with Greenstein and Fitoussi carving Chanthabouasy up with a turn {9-Hearts} and river {2-Hearts}. Fitoussi took the high with kings and deuces and Greenstein took the low with tne nut low.

"Barry, come on!" said Fitoussi. "What are you doing with your chips?!"

Chanthabouasy will have the rest of the evening to think about PLO8 variance.
