Shahi Chipleading After Double Knockout

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

On a three-way flop of {9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Arash Shahi and the two other players got all of the chips in the middle, with Shahi covering.

Arash Shahi: {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Opponent 1: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent 2: {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}

Shahi had flopped top two pair and a double gutter straight draw, Opponent 2 had flopped a mirror (three pair), and Oponnent 1 had a pair with the nut flush draw, so all players had equal claim to the pot.

The turn was the {4-Spades} which gave Shahi the nut straight with six-seven but other players still had outs. Any 7, 9, or 5 would chop it for Opponent 2, while any 3 would win, and any non-paired diamond would win it for Opponent 1.

Unfortunately for them, the river {2-Spades} was a complete brick and Shahi scooped the massive pot, which elimimated his opponents and rocketed him to the chip lead with 320,000.

Hsu Shows Up with the Goods

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

On a three way flop of {8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, the big blind checked and the under-the-gun player bet 14,000, which Loeon Hsu on the button and the big blind called.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and the big blind check again to the under-the-gun player who shipped it all in for 35,500. Hsu just called and the big blind folded.

Hsu then quickly showed{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} for quad eights, which left his opponent drawing dead as he flashed {6-}{6-} for a small full house and he mucked as the meaningless {k-Hearts} came on the river.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Sam Rosengarten was a short stack but is on the comeback path.

Sam Rosengarten: {k-}{k-}{q-}{3-}
Early Position: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}

The board ran out {q-}{q-Clubs}{7-}{a-}{5-} giving Rosengarten the double up.

In another hand there was a middle position raised to 4,000 and Rosengarten called in the small blind. The big blind also came along.

The players checked down the whole way on the {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Rosengarten had the winner as he showdowned {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for two pair.

Rosengarten declared "I'm the best short stack player in the country" and said he was going to make it to the final table.
