Chad Holloway

Level 29 : 80,000/160,000, 0 ante

Stud

The short-stacked Ian O'Hara had the bring in and then Ray Henson completed to 80,000. Jaswinder Lally put in 120,000, seemingly by accident, and given the amount it was ruled he had to raise to 160,000.

That prompted O'Hara to call off for 75,000 total, Henson came along, and there was a side pot on the line. Henson then bet fourth street and called when Lally raised. On fifth, Henson checked and folded when Lally bet 160,000.

Ray Henson: / fold
Jaswinder Lally: / /
Ian O'Hara: / /

Lally revealed he had improved to a diamond flush on seventh, which rendered O'Hara's last card moot as he was drawing dead.

"Stud master," O'Hara knighted Lally before exiting the stage.

Razz

Jaswinder Lally and Andrew Kelsall started heads-up play with a friendly series of Razz pots.

A few pots quickly ended but one large one put Lally even more firmly in the driver's seat.

After exchanging bets and calls on third through fifth streets, Lally took command of the betting lead on sixth and seventh.

Andrew Kelsall: //
Jaswinder Lally: //

Kelsall took about a minute before finally calling Lally's bet on seventh street.

Lally showed for a seven-low, which was good enough to take the pot and leave Kelsall at just over a million chips.

Jaswinder Lally has been doing quite well in the Stud variants today, so it was no surprise to see him return to the game when it was his choice.

In one hand, Andrew Kelsall brought it in then called when Lally completed. Kelsall then check-called a bet on fourth and then on fifth raised to 200,000 after Lally had bet.

Lally called and then check-called a bet of 200,000 on sixth. Both players checked seventh and the hands were tabled.
