Richburg and Bohlman Capitalize in Five-Bet Three-Way Pot

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Scott Bohlman
Scott Bohlman

Scott Bohlman: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} / {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
James Richburg: {J-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts} / {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Dmitry Chop: {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{X-} / {3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}

On third street, James Richburg completed and Dmitry Chop raised. Scott Bohlman three-bet and both Richburg and Chop called.

Richburg and Chop both hit another low card on fourth and Chop was pressing to the max, betting, then raising and finally five-betting. Bohlman was just a passive caller while Richburg was the one who exchanged raises with Chop.

They were still three-way to fifth street with Bohlman's board catching third heart. Richburg had a pair of sixes out and bet-called Chop's raise while Bohlman stuck around, calling.

Richburg ended up all-in on sixth, having fewer than a bet behind. Chop had four low cards out and made it a full bet. Bohlman called again and then bet the river himself. Chop called to make a three-way showdown.

Each of the players showed trips with Bohlman taking the high half as he had three aces. Chop failed to make a low despite of a strong board. He showed his frustration as Bohlman and Richburg chopped his money.

It's a game where scooping a large pot is often quite difficult to do, and the bunched up leaderboard heading into Day 2 would prove nothing else. Trent Gundrum managed to find himself leading the 174 players returning for Day 2 of Event #25: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better. He will be bringing forward a stack of 72,000 chips, just slightly ahead of the rest of the field.

Gundrum is a bit of an unknown to the poker world. In fact, he has yet to record a single tournament cash in his career but will be looking to change that today. There is still a way to go before the money is reached with a total of 90 players getting paid and a min-cash being worth $2,246. Gundrum will have some stiff competition to deal with throughout the day, including world-known tournament director, Matt Savage (46,700), on his direct left to begin the day.

Some other notables to make it through with solid chip stacks include three-time WSOP bracelet winner Eli Elezra who bagged a top three stack of 71,500. He will also be joined by his wife, Hila, who will be on the short stack with 7,500 chips. Meanwhile Nicholas Derke (66,400), Benjamin Dobson (57,200), Timothy Frazin (48,200), Nick Kost (47,600), Jeff Madsen (47,100), and Alex Livingston (45,200) all find themselves in a great position moving forward.

The action is scheduled to get underway at 2:00 p.m. local time inside the Miranda Room of the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino. The blinds will resume at Level 11 with another ten levels on tap for today. The levels will be 60-minutes in length with a 15-minute break after every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break after the sixth level. The remaining players will then bag up to return for Day 3 where a winner will be crowned.
