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.
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 / , then added the blank 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 could not possibly improve to a better flush than Rogers'. He made trips with the , but it was far from enough.
Lukas has thusly been eliminated in 15th place, good for a paycheck of $8,641.
Rep Porter completed with the only to have David Chiu raise with the . 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: / /
Chiu: / /
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 right away on seventh, which means Porter was drawing dead. Nonetheless, he looked at his last card and then tossed the onto Chiu's pile, giving him bogus quads.
Brandon Guss is on a serious charge here with two tables left. He had just over 200,000 chips when this level began, but he's quickly increased that by more than triple.
Stud Hi/Lo:
We joined the action on fifth street, heads-up between Guss and Bryce Yockey.
Guss: (x-x) / / (x)
Yockey: (x-x) / / (x)
Yockey was the one leading the betting when we joined in, firing out on fifth, sixth, and seventh streets. Guss called the first two bets, but on seventh, he snuck in a raise. Yockey's call left him with just 8,000 chips, and he was not going to get any of the pot.
Guss revealed / for the straight and the seventy-six low. Yockey was less than pleased, and he mucked with some frustration to leave himself with just a chip and a chair, essentially.
Bryce Yockey managed to get back up to 32,000 when he raised under the gun and cleared the field all the way around to Brandon Guss on the button. He put in a three-bet, Yockey four-bet all in, and Guss made the call.
Yockey:
Guss:
Yockey was in trouble and in need of some help. He managed to hit an ace on the flop, but unfortunately for him, Guss made a set. The turn kept Yockey drawing live to either an ace or seven on the river, but it was not in the cards as the appeared.
