Double for Chow

Limit Hold'em:

Action folded around to a woman in the small blind and she put in a raise. A short-stacked Michael Chow was in the big blind and pushed back with a three-bet, which quickly escalated into a capped pot. The {6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Spades} flop saw the small blind bet and Chow called off his last 900.

Showdown

Chow{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Small Blind{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Chow was ahead, but he needed to dodge two overs and a counterfeit to any {6-}. He did just that as the {7-Diamonds} appeared on the turn followed by the {8-Clubs} on the river. Chow doubled to 24,000 on the hand, which is less than half the chip average.

Land Ho!

Sam Grizzle opened with a raise, and Steve Landfish three-bet next door. Grizzle spent a good 30 seconds fiddling with some rap music playing loudly from his phone, then finally looked up and made his move. "What'd he do? Raise??" With that, Grizzle made the call.

The dealer spread out {7-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {10-Hearts}, and Grizzle check-called a bet. He almost beat Landfish into the pot with his chips, and he did so again on the {4-Spades} turn. When the {6-Diamonds} river, Landfish checked it back and showed down his {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}.

Rockets were good.

Limongi Jetted After Running Into Quads

Chip Jett
Chip Jett

Stud Hi/Lo:

We caught the action on the turn with an extremely short-stacked Michele Limongi all in. Gabriel Nassiff had just bet with a pair of queens and received a call from Chip Jett, who was showing a pair of fours. The {4-Spades} on fifth gave Jett a set and he bet, prompting Nassif to fold and say, "Quads?"

Sure enough, Jett showed the goods.

Jett: {4-Diamonds}{3-} / {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts} / {2-Spades}
Limongi: {K-Spades}{5-Spades} / {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}(x) / (x)
Nassif: (x-x) / {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{8-Clubs} fold

Limongi was drawing dead after sixth and tossed his cards to the muck before heading to the payout desk in 64th place.

Barber Butchered

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Andrew Barber was getting short on chips by the time this hand began, and he got himself all in on the turn of a {5-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {8-Hearts} board.

Showdown
Barber: {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {7-Hearts}
Opponent: {J-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {2-Spades}

Barber had found a good flop, but the eight on the turn put him in a coin flip for his tournament life with one to come. He needed to find an out in a hurry, but the river {7-Spades} was not enough.

Barber's day is done.

Williams Struggling

David Williams
David Williams

David Williams was the chip leader earlier today, but he's found the last few levels a little slower going. We just picked up a hand between he and Tom Schneider.

Razz:

Williams: (x-x) / {4-} {A-} {8-} {A-} / (x)
Schneider: (x-x) / {6-} {A-} {2-} {7-} / (x)

Williams bet his lead on fourth, then called one of Schneider's bets on fifth. Schneider bet sixth, too, and Williams was calling that bet. "Drawing at a wheel, buddy," he said as he did. "If it's not obvious already."

That didn't stop Schneider from firing one last bullet on seventh, and Williams could not call that one. He mucked, and his once mighty stack has dropped below the chip average.

Schneider, on the other hand, has been doing good work since our last update on him.
