Thung Beats Chadha-Villamarin in Showdown
Roy Thung: Kx7x5x / Ax3xQx2x
Carlos Chadha-Villamarin: XxXx / 7x10x9x10x / Xx
Steve Zolotow: XxXx / 2xKx10xKx folded on sixth street
In the final hand before the break, former chip leader George Alexander had taken a hit when Steve Zolotow rivered a nine-six. Zolotow was in the next hand as well in which Carlos Chadha-Villamarin bet as of fourth street, earning calls from Zolotow and Thung.
That remained to be the case on fifth street before he paired his ten. Thung bet sixth street for Chadha-Villamarin to call and Zolotow folded. Thung bet again seventh and Chadha-Villamarin was disgusted. "You were drawing dead and got there?" he inquired.
Chadha-Villamarin paid it off and was shown a seven-five, which Chadha-Villamarin concluded with "yeah, you were dead".
