Chidwick vs. Gallagher

PLO

Action folded to Mark Gallagher in the small blind and he put in a raise, though we're not sure of the amount. Stephen Chidwick, who was in the big blind, responded by putting in an unknown three-bet. Gallagher made the call and it was heads up to the {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{10-Spades} flop.

Gallagher checked, Chidwick bet pot, and Gallagher snap-called off his remaining 13,7000.

Chidwick: {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Gallagher: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

It was the nut flush versus the second nut flush, with Chidwick being on the losing end. The {A-Diamonds} turn changed nothing and Gallagher doubled after the {6-Diamonds} was put out on the river.

Getting Messy For Wessley

Darryll Fish has doubled up with {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} against Adam Wessley's {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} all in preflop with an obligatory non-scary (and therefore completely non-interesting) board of {J-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

Gill Gaining Ground

Carter Gill
Carter Gill

PLO

Daniel Dasilva raised to 1,500 from the cutoff and Vinh Ho re-raised to 5,400 from the button. Carter Gill called from the big blind and Dasilva opted to fold. The flop came {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Gill bet 10,000. Ho then raised all in for a total of 27,000 and Gill called.

Ho: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs} (flush draw, straight draw, pair of nines)
Gill: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} (pair of queens, straight draw)

The turn brought the {8-Diamonds} giving Gill a queen-high straight and the river was the {4-Diamonds} which was of no help to Ho who was eliminated from the tournament.

Gill had 107,000 after the hand.

Kelly Wins a Pot

Level 9

PLH

JP Kelly raised to 1,600 from late position and Steve Saraf defended in the blinds.

The flop was {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and both players checked before Saraf bet out 2,400 on the {A-Hearts} turn, Kelly made the call and the river was the {6-Spades}. Saraf now checked again and Kelly thought for a minute or two before declaring he couldn't see what would pay him off. Saraf showed {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Kelly took down the pot with {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

Hachem Hits the Tank

PLH

With 11,200 in the pot and a board reading {7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{J-Spades}, Joe Hachem checked to the new addition at the table, Patrick Coughlin. The latter put out a bet of 4,800, which Hachem tank-called. The 2005 WSOP Main Event Champ then checked the {7-Hearts} river, Coughlin moved all in for 10,400, and Hachem hit the tank hard.

One minute . . .

Two minutes . . .

Three minutes . . .

Four minutes . . .

Clock . . .

60 second later . . . fold. "You'll have to tell me that one later," Hachem said to his opponent.

"Maybe later," Coughlin replied coolly.

Lestock Market Crash

David Lestock four-bet all in against Praz Bansi with {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and quickly got called by his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}. The board came {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Bansi's ace king high was still good, which was enough for him to double up

Fynbo Bests Zarin

PLH

Jonathan Zarin raised to 1,900 from the cutoff and Martin Fynbo re-raised to 4,900 from the big blind. Zarin called and the flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Fynbo put in his last 3,200 in chips and Zarin called.

Fynbo: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Zarin: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The turn brought the {a-Diamonds} and the river was the {5-Hearts} allowing Fynbo to doube to 17,000 while Zarin fell to 9,400. Zarin was eliminated in another hand shortly afterward.

Schoenberg Doubles Through Charania

PLO

With the board reading {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, Erica Schoenberg and Mohsin Charania raised back and forth until Schoenberg was all in.

Schoenberg: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Charania: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Charania's pair of aces and club flush draw was leading Schoenberg's pair of nines with a heart flush draw and straight draw. Schoenberg would need help to stay alive and the river indeed brought the {4-Hearts} giving her a flush.

Schoenberg's stack was at 24,000 after the hand while Charania was left with around 26,000

Mitch Suffers Hitch

Level 9

PLO

James Mitchell, who made the final table of this event last year, fired out 2,000 on a flop of {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{6-Hearts} against Daniel Studer, the latter check-calling from the small blind. On the {9-Diamonds} turn, Studer checked again and Mitchell responded with another bet, this time of 4,800 - but again Studer made the call to see the {J-Hearts} river which both players now checked.

Studer turned over {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a straight and we could ascertain the barest hint of the {A-Spades} in Mitchell's hand as he nodded and mucked his cards.
