Demaci:
Chiu:
Chiu was ahead with top two pair and had a better flush draw than Demaci. "I'm in trouble," Demaci said. He surely was, and the turn didn't help his cause. When the blanked on the river, Demaci circled the table and shook hand's with the man who sent him home.
Joseph Ressler raised to 13,000 on the button only to face a three-bet to 41,000 from Emil Patel in the big blind. Ressler made the call, and then called a bet of 35,000 on the flop. The dealer proceeded to burn and turn the , which inspired Patel to bet his remaining 72,000. Ressler insta-folded and the hand came to an end.

The board read out in the end and Mercier's straight took out Kivelio. He lost some after his big knockout of Jeff Lisandro, but after the knockout of Kivelio he's back up to 560,000.
We never envy a player who has to endure the daunting task of having Vanessa Selbst to their left. We also never envy a player who has Selbst to their left in a shorthanded PLO game where Selbst has a boat load of chips. Unfortuantly for Jared Bleznick, he is the player in that exact position, and he knows how tough its going to be. He called the floor offer, and said "I will give you $10,000 right now to give me a new seat!" The floor and everyone at the table laughed, except for Bleznick that is, who seemed ready to go through with the bet.
Emil Patel raised to 12,000 from the cutoff and David "Devilfish" Ulliott looked him up from the small blind. Both players checked the flop, which lead to the on the turn.

On the very next hand, Devilfish raised to 13,000 and David Callaghan called from the big blind. Callaghan then turned around and led out for 18,000 on the flop. The Devilfish asked for a count and then potted to 87,000. Callaghan folded his hand while Ulliott showed for a massive wrap and flush draw.
"Pretty good flop. Let's rock n' roll," Devilfish said with a wink.
Joseph Ressler raised it up to 14,000 from late position and Emil Patel re-raised to 63,000 on the button. Ressler then re-potted it and Patel did the same until he was all in.
Patel:
Ressler:
The flop came down to give Patel his flush draw and Ressler a pair of kings. The turn was the and Patel got his flush but Ressler sat with two pair. The river was the to give Ressler the full house and score the knockout of Patel. An unlucky beat for Patel who was ahead the whole way, but that is the nature of PLO.
