Updated Chip Counts

As you can see, Rasmussen is having himself a whale of a level.

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.

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.

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.

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

Zimnan Ziyard - 12th place
Zimnan Ziyard - 12th place

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.

"Great player," Schwartz acknowledged. "You'll make a lot of money."

This one's not really "a lot of money" for Ziyard, but the $13,000+ he'll pocket is a respectable consolation prize for his run.

Pandya Finds a Scooper

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.

Chips Accounted For

He's Allen Cunningham!

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.

Diamonds Are Ylon's Best Friend

Ylon Schwartz
Ylon Schwartz

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.
