Sanjay Gets Run Over By the Chiu-Chiu Train

Chad Holloway

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Action folded to David Chiu on the button and he put in a raise, which Sanjay Pandya called from the big blind. Pandya proceeded to check-call bets on the {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {6-Clubs} flop and {10-Clubs} turn, but ended up check-folding on the {8-Clubs} river, dropping to around 65,000 in the process.

On the flip side, Chiu has continued to roll here on Day 3 and is approaching 500K.

Player	Chips	Progress
David Chiu	490,000 155,000	155,000

Sanjay Pandya	65,000 -230,000	-230,000

Table 439 just played a very active Stud Hi/Lo orbit, but the chips didn't change much. After the round, the counts look like this:

Marlon Milne	600,000 -20,000	-20,000

Chidwick Shortened

[user66118]

Razz:

Robby Rasmussen completed with a {3-} , and Stephen Chidwick called showing a {6-} .

Rasmussen: (x-x) / {3-} {8-} {K-} {5-}
Chidwick: (x-x) / {6-} {8-} {5-} {10-}

Rasmussen bet his lead on fourth, and Chidwick did the same on fifth. On sixth, though, Chidwick surrendered with a check-fold, and he's got just over 100,000 chips left with which to mount another comeback.

Chidwick Doubles, Cunningham Nearly Felted

[user66118]

We picked up the action on fourth street in a heads-up pot between Allen Cunningham and Stephen Chidwick, two of the short stacks.

Cunningham: (x-x) / {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} {8-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} / (x)
Chidwick: (x-x) / {J-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {8-Hearts} / (x)

Chidwick called a bet on fourth, then raised on fifth. Cunningham reraised, and Chidwick committed the rest of his chips, rolling over {J-Clubs} {4-Spades} for two pair. Cunningham showed down {A-Clubs} {3-Spades} , and his flush draw had Chidwick sweating.

Cunningham's queen on sixth gave him some more outs to the win, but his seventh street {10-Diamonds} was a blank. Chidwick went ahead and filled up for good measure with the {4-Clubs} , and he's doubled his way back into this match.

Cunningham has just 40,000 chips left.

Stephen Chidwick	210,000 100,000	100,000

Allen Cunningham	40,000 -95,000	-95,000

Diamonds Are Ylon's Best Friend

[user66118]

Stud:

Joining a heads-up pot between Ylon Schwartz and Zimnan Ziyard on fourth street.

Schwartz: (x-x) / {J-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} / (x)
Ziyard: (x-x) / {J-Spades} {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {3-Spades} / (x)

Ziyard bet his lead on fourth, then called a raise from Schwartz. On fifth, Ziyard tried a check-raise, but Schwarz raised right back to three bets. Ziyard called, and Schwartz got his last 24,000 chips in on sixth.

When Ziyard called, Schwartz revealed {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} , having made his flush on the first five.

"You have a flush already?" Ziyard asked. Yep. "Am I drawing dead?" Yep. Ziyard's {9-Hearts} river was no use, and Schwartz made his seven-card flush with his {8-Diamonds} . He's doubled, and now Ziyard could use one of those for himself.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ylon Schwartz	360,000 235,000	235,000

Zimnan Ziyard	135,000 -220,000	-220,000

He's Allen Cunningham!

[user66118]

Stud:

Allen Cunningham has no intentions of going quietly. He was all in for 34,000 on fourth street with the {3-Hearts} {2-Hearts} showing, up against the {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades} of Elior Sion.

Cunningham: ( {5-Spades} {3-Diamonds} ) / {3-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {3-Spades} / {A-Hearts}
Sion: ( {10-Spades} {9-Spades} ) / {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {7-Clubs} / (x)

Cunningham was behind until sixth street where he made trip threes. That was the hand he ended with, and Sion needed to pull a six, eight, or jack to win the pot. His river was a blank, though, and Cunningham has increased from 34,000 up to 119,000 with that win.

Pandya Finds a Scooper

[user66118]

Stud Hi/Lo:

Sanjay Pandya just got himself all in and drawing pretty slim against David Rogers. Rogers had a pair and a six-low, and Pandya was on a combo draw. The five relevant cards were {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} , and he needed some help. The river was some help. The dealer blessed him with the {4-Diamonds} , the one-out scoop card. Both halves go to the shorty, and he's found the first double.

Zimnan Ziyard Eliminated in 12th Place ($13,405)

[user66118]

It's the end of a long and perilous road for Zimnan Ziyard. He's just been eliminated in 12th place after three days of roller-coaster poker in which he was down under 1 big bet or less several times.

Hold'em:

His final hand began with him open-raising his last 31,000 into the middle under the gun. David Rogers and Ylon Schwartz (big blind) came along with him, and they checked to the river on the {4-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {10-Hearts} board as Ziyard stood up in between them sweating his fate. On the river, Rogers made a bet, and Ziyard figured that might not be good news. When Schwartz folded, Rogers tabled {K-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} for two pair.

Ziyard rolled over his {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} — good, but second best by the river. He has been eliminated in 12th place, but he received a nice parting compliment from Ylon Schwartz.
