Rep Porter Eliminated in 14th Place ($10,669)

Rep Porter
Rep Porter

Stud:

Rep Porter completed with the {J-Diamonds} only to have David Chiu raise with the {Q-Diamonds}. Poter, who was fairly short, contemplated for about thirty second before making the call. Chiu proceeded to bet the turn, which Porter called before taking the lead and betting his last 23,000 on fifth. Chiu made the call and the cards were turned up:

Porter: {J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} / {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades} / {Q-Clubs}
Chiu: {Q-Hearts}{2-Spades} / {Q-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} / {Q-Spades}

Porter made two pair and got his money in good, but Chiu spiked a deuce on sixth to snatch the lead right back. Chiu showed the {Q-Spades} right away on seventh, which means Porter was drawing dead. Nonetheless, he looked at his last card and then tossed the {Q-Clubs} onto Chiu's pile, giving him bogus quads.

Benjamin Lukas Eliminated in 15th Place ($8,641)

Benjamin Lukas - 15th place
Benjamin Lukas - 15th place

Stud:

Benjamin Lukas got himself all in on fifth street of a big multi-way Stud pot. By the time he committed his last 31,000, he was left battling with Jason Brown and David Rogers.

Lukas: (x-x) / {8-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} / (x)
Brown: (x-x) / {6-Hearts} {10-Spades} {10-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} / (x)
Rogers: (x-x) / {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} / (x)

Rogers made the default bet on sixth street showing four to a Royal Flush. Brown could only chuckle. "Did you catch good?" he asked rhetorically. After some time, he tucked and mucked, and the cards were turned up.

"Do you have a flush?" Lukas wanted to know.

"Yep," Rogers admitted. He showed down {K-Spades} {2-Diamonds} / {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}, then added the blank {3-Spades} on seventh.

"How bad are you drawing?" one of Lukas' buddies on the rail asked.

"Dead," came the one-word answer. He opened up two more clubs in the hole, but his {A-Clubs} {3-Clubs} could not possibly improve to a better flush than Rogers'. He made trips with the {4-Hearts}, but it was far from enough.

Lukas has thusly been eliminated in 15th place, good for a paycheck of $8,641.

Chips

Cunningham Shows Some Razzle Dazzle

Razz:

Stephen Chidwick completed with a {5-} and Allen Cunningham made the call with his {2-}. The latter proceeded to bet when he took the lead on the turn, and then raised when Chidwick bet on fifth. A call was made and then Chidwick check-called bets on both sixth and seventh.

Chidwick: (x-x) / {5-}{8-}{10-}{A-} / (x)
Cunningham: (x-x) / {2-}{3-}{Q-}{4-} / (x) ({7-}{6-}{7-})

"Seven," Cunningham said confidently and revealed his 7-6-4-3-2 low. Chidwick simply mucked and Cunningham took down the juicy pot.

Chiu Gets Two-Thirds of a Big One

David Chiu
David Chiu

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Jason Brown limped in from early position, and Ylon Schwartz raised from the button. David Chiu called the extra bet from the big blind, and Brown came along for a three-way flop.

The dealer spread out {6-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {4-Hearts}, and Chiu led right out with a bet. Follow this action. Brown called, Schwartz raised, Chiu reraised, and Brown cold-called. Schwartz raised again, though, and now Chiu and Brown flatted with four bets in apiece. The pot was getting serious.

The {6-Clubs} paired the board on the turn, and now the table checked around to Schwartz. He bet, Chiu check-raised, Brown cold-called again, and Schwartz flatted. The latter was getting less and less thrilled with the situation as the hand progressed.

Chiu bet the {9-Clubs} river, and both opponents called. The hands, please.

Showdown
Chiu: {A-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {5-Hearts} {3-Spades} (straight and nut low)
Brown: {A-Spades} {K-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} (nut low)
Schwartz: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} (nut low)

Schwartz's busted flush draw cost him a huge pot, and he and Brown can only manage to get 1/6th of it apiece. The lion's share goes to Chiu, and he's worked himself all the way back up to 300,000.

Cliff Josephy Eliminated in 16th Place ($8,641)

Cliff Josephy - 16th place
Cliff Josephy - 16th place

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Action folded to Allen Cunningham in the cutoff and he raised, which Robby Rasmussen three-bet from the cutoff. The button and small blind got out of the way, while a short-stacked Cliff Josephy opted to commit his stack from the big.

The {2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop saw Cunningham check-call and bet before both active players checked the {Q-Diamonds} turn. Cunningham then put out a bet on the {K-Spades} river, which Rasmussen called.

"Wheel," Cunningham said as he rolled over {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

"Payout," Josephy responded as both he and Rssmussen mucked. Since it was an all-in situation, the dealer had to expose the former's {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and the latter's {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

Charlie Ng Eliminated in 17th Place ($7,116)

Charlie Ng - 17th place
Charlie Ng - 17th place

Stud:

Charlie Ng got his short stack in early during this Stud hand, and he managed to finish with just a pair of sevens. Stephen Chidwick had him drawing dead on sixth.

Chidwick's cards were scrambled when we walked up, but we did see {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} among the six cards face-up. He didn't need his river, and he's sent Ng to the payout desk in 17th place.
