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.

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 . . .

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

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.
