Vitch Hamstrung by Ivey

Level 19 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante
Chris Vitch
Chris Vitch

Omaha Hi-Lo

Chris Vitch raised on the button and he was called by Phil Ivey in the big blind.

The flop was {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts} and both players checked to see the {7-Diamonds} on the turn. There, Ivey bet and Vitch called.

The river was the {2-Clubs} and Iver fired again, betting. Vitch thought for a bit, then called, but mucked when Ivey showed his {Q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a full house. Vitch couldn't produce a better high hand, or a low, so he was cut down to around 350,000 chips.

Vitch on Smallest Crumb Possible

Level 19 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

John Hennigan completed the blind and Chris Vitch checked. The flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Hennigan bet. Vitch raised and Hennigan called. On the {q-Diamonds} turn, Hennigan came out betting again. Vitch called. The river was a {5-Spades} and Hennigan bet. Vitch had only 1,000 back and said something we couldn't hear.

Eventually, he reluctantly tossed in a call. Hennigan had flopped it with {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Vitch has quite the task ahead of him if he is going to remain in this tournament.
