Chidiwck vs. Guss

Chad Holloway

Stud:

We caught the action on fifth street when Brandon Guss called a bet from Stephen Chidwick. That same action would be repeated on both sixth and seventh streets, prompting Chidwick to reveal trip aces for the win.

Chidwick: (x-x) / {6-Spades} {A-Spades} {4-Hearts} {K-Spades} / (x) ( {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} )
Guss: (x-x) / {10-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {4-Spades} {6-Diamonds} / (x)

Michael Chow Eliminated in 18th Place ($7,116)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Razz:

Michael Chow and Marlon Milne both began with a six showing, and Chow went off to the board for his tournament life.

Milne: (x-x) / {6-} {4-} {K-} {J-} / (x)
Chow: (x-x) / {6-} {J-} {Q-} {2-} / (x)

Chow check-called bets on fourth, fifth, and sixth streets. The last one put him all in for 13,000, and he was in bad shape. Chow rolled over {2-} {7-} in the hole, and that was a mistake. "I thought I had a three!" he complained. Milne made a ten-low with, and Chow was eliminated.

Chow Time

Chad Holloway

Razz:

A short-stacked Michael Chow managed to get his stack in right off the bat with the best hand against Benjamin Lukas.

Chow: {3-} {4-} / {A-} {8-} {9-} {10-} / {9-}
Lukas: {6-} {2-} / {8-} {Q-} {A-} {9-} / {Q-}

Lukas immediately showed that he failed to improve on seventh, which meant Chow locked up the double without even looking at the last card.

Chow Sticks Around

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Allen Cunningham opened with an under-the-gun raise, and Michael Chow called all in for 11,000. Marlon Milne called from the big blind, too, and he bet the {9-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Spades} flop. That folded Cunningham, and the cards were tabled. Chow had flopped a good one.

Showdown
Chow: {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {2-Hearts}
Milne: {J-Spades} {10-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades}

Chow's straight had him poised for the pot, and he asked the dealer for a couple blanks. He needed to fade the sixes and sevens primarily, and the turn {J-Clubs} and river {10-Spades} keeps him in the game.

Chidwick Gets There

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Limit Hold'em:

We didn't see most of this hand play out, but we did catch the result. Charlie Ng was in middle position, and he was mixed up with big blind Stephen Chidwick in this hand.

The board showed {J-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {A-Clubs} when we walked up to the turn, and we can infer that Chidwick check-called a bet on the flop. On fourth, he check-called again, but he liked the river {K-Spades} enough to bet it himself. Ng quickly called.

Chidwick tabled {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} for Broadway, and Ng just shook his head. He eventually mucked, then pounded his knuckles on the felt in frustration.

Ng had a productive start to his day, but he's right back to where he began with about 70,000.

Lukas Takes One from Cunningham

Limit Hold'em:

Action folded to Allen Cunningham in the cutoff and he raised. Both the button and small blind got out of the way, but Benjamin Lukas opted to more than defend as he three-bet from the big blind.

Cunningham made the call and then called a bet on the {4-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {3-Hearts} flop. Lukas didn't slow down though as he fired on the {8-Clubs} turn, which proved too much for Cunningham.

Chow Dented Early

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Stud Hi/Lo:

We didn't see many details of the hand, only glancing over to see Michael Chow calling bets against Ben Lukas. We looked back just in time to see Chow call one last bet on seventh, and Lukas liked his hand.

The cards were rolled over and quickly collected, but it looks like Lukas made a straight to the eight with a seven-six low. Chow knew it was bad as soon as he saw it, and he slapped his cards into the muck, dropping more than half his stack in that exchange.
