Stud:

Stephen Chidwick brought it in with the {2-Diamonds} and then called when Robby Rasmussen completed with the {J-Diamonds}. From there, Rasmussen bet the turn and Chidwick called. On the remaining streets, Rasmussen ended up check-calling bets only to have Chidwick roll over an ace-high flush.

Rasmussen: (x-x) / {J-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts} / (x)
Chidwick: {3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} / {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

Elior Sion Eliminated in 5th Place ($55,422)

Elior Sion
Elior Sion

Stud:

Elior Sion completed with the {A-Spades} only to have Robby Rasmussen raise with the {Q-Hearts}. Sion made the call and then led out on the turn. Rasmussen made the call and then raised Scion's bet on fifth street. Sion then three-bet his last 90,000 and Rasmussen made the call.

Sion: {K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} / {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} / {3-Clubs}
Rasmussen: {Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} / {Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts} / {K-Hearts}

Rasmussen turned two pair and was in the lead, but Sion held kings and had plenty of outs. Unfortunately for him, none would be delivered and he was felled in fifth place for $55,422.

Chidwick Chops and Chips Up

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Elior Sion raised the button, and both blinds defended — Robby Rasmussen and Stephen Chidwick, respectively.

Three ways, the dealer laid out a {5-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {4-Spades} flop, and action checked to the raiser. Sion bet, Rasmussen called, and Chidwick check-raised to two bets. Sion reraised to three bets, and that folded Rasmussen. Chidwick put in the fourth bet, though, and Sion called.

The {K-Hearts} turned, and Chidwick bet all in for 95,000. When the call came, the cards were tabled.

Showdown
Sion: {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {7-Hearts} {6-Spades}
Chidwick: {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} {7-Spades} {6-Clubs}

Sion had the low half locked up, and Chidwick could only chop the high at worst. He was in front as the cards laid, though, and the {7-Diamonds} gave him sevens full and half the pot. He also gathers 75,000 of Rasmussen's money, earning a much needed chip boost in that process.

Schwartz Takes the Lead

Ylon Schwartz
Ylon Schwartz

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Action folded to Robby Rasmussen in the cutoff and he put in a raise, which Ylon Schwartz called from the big blind. Both players proceeded to check the {10-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop before Schwartz led out on the {2-Diamonds} turn. Rasmussen made the call but then tanked for a solid minute when Schwartz bet the {Q-Diamonds} river. Eventually he made the call but mucked upon seeing Schwartz's hand . . . {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.
