Michael Chow Eliminated in 18th Place ($7,116)

Michael Chow - 18th place
Michael Chow - 18th place

Razz:

Michael Chow and Marlon Milne both began with a six showing, and Chow went off to the board for his tournament life.

Milne: (x-x) / {6-} {4-} {K-} {J-} / (x)
Chow: (x-x) / {6-} {J-} {Q-} {2-} / (x)

Chow check-called bets on fourth, fifth, and sixth streets. The last one put him all in for 13,000, and he was in bad shape. Chow rolled over {2-} {7-} in the hole, and that was a mistake. "I thought I had a three!" he complained. Milne made a ten-low with, and Chow was eliminated.

Chidiwck vs. Guss

Stud:

We caught the action on fifth street when Brandon Guss called a bet from Stephen Chidwick. That same action would be repeated on both sixth and seventh streets, prompting Chidwick to reveal trip aces for the win.

Chidwick: (x-x) / {6-Spades}{A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{K-Spades} / (x) ({A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{Q-Spades})
Guss: (x-x) / {10-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds} / (x)

Charlie Ng Eliminated in 17th Place ($7,116)

Charlie Ng - 17th place
Charlie Ng - 17th place

Stud:

Charlie Ng got his short stack in early during this Stud hand, and he managed to finish with just a pair of sevens. Stephen Chidwick had him drawing dead on sixth.

Chidwick's cards were scrambled when we walked up, but we did see {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} among the six cards face-up. He didn't need his river, and he's sent Ng to the payout desk in 17th place.

Cliff Josephy Eliminated in 16th Place ($8,641)

Cliff Josephy - 16th place
Cliff Josephy - 16th place

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Action folded to Allen Cunningham in the cutoff and he raised, which Robby Rasmussen three-bet from the cutoff. The button and small blind got out of the way, while a short-stacked Cliff Josephy opted to commit his stack from the big.

The {2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop saw Cunningham check-call and bet before both active players checked the {Q-Diamonds} turn. Cunningham then put out a bet on the {K-Spades} river, which Rasmussen called.

"Wheel," Cunningham said as he rolled over {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

"Payout," Josephy responded as both he and Rssmussen mucked. Since it was an all-in situation, the dealer had to expose the former's {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and the latter's {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

Chiu Gets Two-Thirds of a Big One

David Chiu
David Chiu

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Jason Brown limped in from early position, and Ylon Schwartz raised from the button. David Chiu called the extra bet from the big blind, and Brown came along for a three-way flop.

The dealer spread out {6-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {4-Hearts}, and Chiu led right out with a bet. Follow this action. Brown called, Schwartz raised, Chiu reraised, and Brown cold-called. Schwartz raised again, though, and now Chiu and Brown flatted with four bets in apiece. The pot was getting serious.

The {6-Clubs} paired the board on the turn, and now the table checked around to Schwartz. He bet, Chiu check-raised, Brown cold-called again, and Schwartz flatted. The latter was getting less and less thrilled with the situation as the hand progressed.

Chiu bet the {9-Clubs} river, and both opponents called. The hands, please.

Showdown
Chiu: {A-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {5-Hearts} {3-Spades} (straight and nut low)
Brown: {A-Spades} {K-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} (nut low)
Schwartz: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} (nut low)

Schwartz's busted flush draw cost him a huge pot, and he and Brown can only manage to get 1/6th of it apiece. The lion's share goes to Chiu, and he's worked himself all the way back up to 300,000.
