The Hold'em Round
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 29
We've just burned right through the Limit Hold'em round without much action. Seven of the hands were won before the flop with walks or raise-and-takes. Stephen Chidwick was the most aggressive player during the eight hands, and he was involved in the only flopped pot of the game.
It was Robby Rasmussen that opened from the small blind, and Chidwick defended with the extra bet. The dealer spread out 
. Rasmussen bet, Chidwick raised, and that was all it took to win that pot.
Chiu On Life Support
Omaha Hi/Lo:
David Chiu raised on the button and then called a three-bet from Ylon Schwartz, who was in the small blind. The latter bet in the dark headed to the 
flop, which Chiu called. The 
turn saw Schwartz bet again, but this time Chiu folded and left himself just 135,000.

Everybody Splittin' Pots
Level 29
We're in the Omaha Hi/Lo round still, and David Chiu has the only scoop so far. Robby Rasmussen got all in against Stephen Chidwick a few hands ago, and they split the pot. On the last hand, Chiu got it in against Ylon Schwartz, and he too got his money back.
We have another all-in gong right now...
Split pot between Rasmussen and Chidwick again.
Robby Rasmussen Eliminated in 4th Place ($78,021)
Razz:
In the first hand of Razz, Robby Rasmussen completed and was called by David Chiu. Both players had the same hand on the turn, but that didn't stop Rasmussen from betting and Chiu from calling. The same action occurred on fifth street, and then Chiu bet his last 105,000 when he took the lead on sixth. Coincidentally, Rasmussen had the exact same amount and committed it to the pot.
Chiu: 
/ 
/ (x)
Rasmussen: 
/ 
/ (x)
"You probably have me," Rasmussen admitted before the cards were turned up. Sure enough, Chiu had a made eight-low and had his opponent drawing dead. Rasmussen, who began the final table as chip leader, finished in fourth place and leaves with a $78,021 consolation prize.

Chiu Crests a Million
As far as we can remember, David Chiu is the only one of these three who had yet to cross over one million chips. That just changed in a pot with Stephen Chidwick.
Razz:
Chidwick: (x-x) / / (x)
Chiu: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
Chidwick was the completer on third street, but Chiu raised the bet. Chidwick called.
On fourth, Chidwick check-called another bet. On fifth, he bet his lead after Chiu paired. Both men checked through sixth. On seventh, Chidwick made one last bet, but Chiu was having none of it.
"Why you bet your full house?" he asked as he squeezed his cards. Then, a moment later, "Raise."
Chiu's declaration sent Chidwick's cards spinning instantly into the muck, and the two men have drawn their stacks closer together. Ylon Schwartz takes the lead by virtue of sitting that one out, but the three men are dangerously close on the score sheet.
