Rasmussen Paid Off

Level 24

Hold'em:

Robby Rasmussen raised to open the pot, and both Marlon Milne and Brandon Guss followed in to a three-way flop.

It came {10-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}, and Milne led out with the first bet. Guss raised, Rasmussen reraised, Milne folded, and Guss called.

Guss check-called single bets on the {5-Spades} turn and {K-Spades} river, too. At showdown, Rasmussen's {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} was the only hand tabled. Kings full were the winner, and Rasmussen is pushing his way up the chip counts.

We'll go get another round of counts in a moment as things continue to be very swingy.

Brandon Guss Eliminated in 11th Place ($13,405)

Brandon Guss - 11th place
Brandon Guss - 11th place

Omaha Hi/Lo:

On a {J-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {7-Spades} flop, we saw Marlon Milne lead out with a bet and Brandon Guss make the call for most of his remaining stack. He got the rest in on the {K-Diamonds} turn, and he was in a bad spot.

Milne: {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}
Guss: {A-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {3-Spades}

Guss' pair of sevens had him drawing from behind for his tournament life, and the river {9-Spades} was a blank. That locks up the pot and the knockout for Milne, and Guss has been dispatched in 11th place.

Rogers Sliding

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Action folded to Ylon Schwartz in the small blinds an he limped, inspiring David Rogers to check his option in the big blind. The {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop saw Schwartz check-call a bet before leading out on the {K-Hearts} turn. Rogers, who only had around 115,000 back, thought long and hard before making the call.

Both players proceeded to check the {A-Diamonds} river and Schwartz said, "Set," before showing {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Spades}. His high was good, as was his low, and Rogers tossed his cards to the muck.

Allen Cunningham Eliminated in 10th Place ($17,150)

Allen Cunningham - 10th place
Allen Cunningham - 10th place

Allen Cunningham's sixth gold bracelet will have to wait for now. It was the Razz orbit that did Cunningham in. We watched him drop a big pot to Elior Sion to reduce him to just a stub of a stack, and the rest of it got in a short while later. It was Marlon Milne who did the knocking out, and Cunningham gets a pay bump up to $17,150 for his efforts here this week.

On the Move

Level 24

Our nine remaining players have bagged up their chips, and they're on the move. The Pavilion stage will host the rest of this event, and we're heading over for one more knockout to set the official final table.

Play will resume in just a moment.

Milne Takes a Hit

Razz:

We caught the action on the turn when Ylon Schwartz bet and received a call from Marlon Milne. The latter took the lead on fifth, but still checked to Schwartz, who thought for a few moments before putting out a bet.

Milne made the call, checked sixth, and watched as Schwartz fired out another bet. This time Milne released his hand, preserving his stack of 250,000.

Chiu Calls Schwartz's Hand

Stud:

Stephen Chidwick completed with the {Q-Diamonds}, and Ylon Schwartz made it three bets with the {6-Hearts} showing. Chidwick called, and off they went.

Chidwick: (x-x) / {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {J-Clubs} / (x)
Schwartz: (x-x) / {6-Hearts} {8-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} / (x)

Chidwick check-called a bet on fourth street, and it was at this point that David Chiu stood from his seat in between the two men.

"Ylon must have two kings," he whispered in our ears.

Schwartz bet fifth, too, but Chidwick raised him. Schwartz called, then got another of his own bets in on sixth. Chidwick called that one, and they both checked the river.

Schwartz opened up {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {X-}, and David Chiu wins the prize. Schwartz wins the pot, though, and he's really doing some damage in the last hour. That pot pushes him back up into second place overall with right around 850,000 chips.

"Three Pair"

Stud:

David Chiu completed with the {J-Clubs} and then called a raise by Ylon Schwartz, who was showing the {Q-Hearts}. The former proceeded to call bets by the latter on both the turn and fifth street, but then raise a bet on sixth. Schwartz made the call and then check-called a bet on seventh.

Ylon: (x-x) / {Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts} / (x)
Chiu: (x-x) / {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} / (x) ({J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades})

"Three pair," Chiu said as he flipped over his hand. Schwartz stared at his opponent's jacks and eights for a moment before sending his cards to the muck.
