Three Streets of Value for Paur

Taylor Paur raised to 3,200 from under the gun, and Layne Flack called out of the small blind. The flop fell {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, and Flack checked. Paur tossed out 5,000, and Flack called.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}, and Flack check-called another bet - this one was worth 10,200.

The river was the {a-Spades}, Flack checked one final time, and Paur fired 26,000. Flack called, and Paur turned over {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a set of eights. Flack mucked, and Paur won the pot.

Chiu Cracks Aces

Steven Kelly was all in and at risk holding {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} on a board of {k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. David Chui had him at risk with {k-Spades}{7-Spades}, and the {k-Diamonds} turned, giving him trip kings. Kelly could not find one of the two aces left in the deck when the {3-Spades} hit the river, eliminating him from Event 57: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em - Six-Handed.

Big Double Up For Chidwick

After a preflop raise and three callers the flop showed {K-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, and it was checked to Stephen Chidwick. He was the initial raiser and bet 6,600. The player to his left called after which it got to Nicolas Chouity.

Chouity is known for his European Poker Tour Grand Final victory in 2010 when he claimed the massive $2.2 million first place prize. Chidwick is having a great World Series of Poker so far with two big final tables. He finished third in the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. for $112,106 and sixth in the $50,000 Players Championship for $253,497. And now these two clashed.

Chouity decided to raise and he upped the stakes to 14,600. Chidwick tanked for a bit and three-bet to 30,600. The third player folded and Chouity moved all in right away, Chidwick called.

Stephen Chidwick{K-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Nicolas Chouity{K-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Chouity was disgusted with the situation, and after the {3-Hearts} turn, and {9-Spades} river he payed off the 69,800 stack. Chidwick is in great shape now, while Chouity dropped down far.

Schulman Takes a Hit

There was about 15,000 in the middle when we reached Table 415, and the flop had already fallen {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Nick Schulman bet 7,600, his opponent raised to 34,500, and Schulman re-raised to 100,000. His opponent called all in for 62,700, and the hands were opened.

Schulman{5-Spades}{4-Spades}
Opponent{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The turn ({j-Hearts}) and the river ({7-Hearts}) were both bricks for Schulman, who dipped to 88,000.
