Chiu Doubles

David Chiu and Raphael Zimmerman both drew two on the first draw. Chiu then bet and Zimmerman raised. Chiu was all in. He drew one, as did Zimmerman. On the third draw, they both drew one again.

Chiu stood up from his chair and threw down {3-}{4-}{7-}{8-}{10-} and was good against Zimmerman's {2-}{4-}{5-}{6-}{6-}.

Gelencser Takes Largest Pot of the Tournament

Peter Gelencser

Peter Gelencser raised pre-draw and all three of his opponents called. Raphael Zimmerman was up first for the first draw and wanted two cards. McNamara was next and wanted two as well before the pre-draw raiser took three cards. David Chiu was the last to select and took two.

After the draw, a lot of chips went into the pot. Zimmerman bet, McNamara called, Gelencser called, Chiu raised, Zimmerman reraised, McNamara tank-folded, Gelencser called and Chiu also called.

On the next draw, three players remained and they all elected to draw one card each. Then, they all checked their option.

For the third and final draw, they all selected one card apiece again. Zimmerman checked after the draw and Gelencser bet. Chiu folded his hand, but Zimmerman made the call.

"Number two," announced Gelencser, revealing the {7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Zimmerman mucked and Gelencser scooped the massive pot.

Zimmerman Takes a Nice Lead

Raphael Zimmerman
Raphael Zimmerman

On the button, Raphael Zimmerman raised before Don McNamara reraised from the small blind. Zimmerman made the call. On the first draw, McNamara drew one and Zimmerman drew three.

"This didn't go well for me last time," said McNamara, referencing a time when Zimmerman drew four against him.

After the draw, McNamara bet and Zimmerman called. For the second draw, McNamara stood pat and Zimmerman drew two. McNamara then bet and was called.

On the third and final draw, McNamara was pat again and Zimmerman drew one. McNamara checked and Zimmerman checked behind. McNamara's {9-}{8-}{7-}{5-}{2-} wasn't good enough to beat the {9-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-} of Zimmerman and he dropped to 345,000 in chips. Zimmerman now has a solid lead on the field with 780,000 chips in his stack.

Favorite Color: Orange

The tournament director just came over to the table with a handful of racks to try and color up the massive orange (T1000) stacks that are sitting in front of the players. Peter Gelencser looked at the TD and asked, "Can I keep these," pointing to his fort of orange. The TD shrugged his shoulders, and asked the rest of the table if they wanted to color up. It seems like everyone likes the orange chips, or looking like they have a mountain of chips for now.

Painter Short

Jameson Painter drew one and Don McNamara drew 3. Painter bet and was called by McNamara. They each drew one. Jameson check-called McNamara. Jameson drew one and McNamara stood pat. The two checked the final round of betting and McNamara showed {4-}{2-}{3-}{7-}{6-} to win the pot.

On the next hand, Painter made a ninety-six to double up. He sits with about 60,0000 now.
