Godena Rising

Level 19

Limit Hold'em

Stephen Chidwick raised to 24,000 and called the three-bet of Jarryd Godena to 36,000 before folding the {5-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop to a continuation bet.

Omaha 8

On the {4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} turn, Chidwick check-called a bet of 24,000 before doing so again on the {J-Diamonds} river. Godena flipped over {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for a full house and scooped the pot.

Godena also made the nut low and a straight on the board {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{A-Hearts} against Peter Aristidou with {K-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and scooped yet another decent pot to increase his stack.

Richard Ashby Eliminated in 5th Place ($11,520)

Level 18
Richard Ashby
Richard Ashby

Pot Limit Omaha

Jarryd Godena won a small pot against chip leader Stephen Chidwick in a battle of the blinds and the next hand, Richard Ashby gave up his blind. Then, Godena min-raised to 10,000 from the button and Ashby flat-called with only 7,000 chips behind out of the small blind. Peter Aristidou also called out of the big blind and the flop came {J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

Ashby moved all in and both opponents called, Aristidou checked the {Q-Spades} turn. Godena now fired a bet of 35,000 to isolate successfully and they turned them over:

Ashby: {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for two pair, queens and jacks as well as plenty of outs to improve to a full house
Godena: {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a straight

The {7-Hearts} river blanked and that sent Ashby to the rail in 5th place for A$11,520.

Gill Takes from Chidwick

Level 18

No Limit Hold'em

Jarryd Godena eyed the stack of Richard Ashby a few times before eventually folding the small blind and the Brit flipped over {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} ... . Soon after, Oliver Gill raised to 11,000 and Stephen Chidwick called. On the flop {4-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}, Gill continued for 13,000 and Chidwick called in the cutoff before then folding the {A-Hearts} turn to a second barrel worth 28,000 by Gill.

Aristidou Runs Over Ashby in Stud 8

Level 18

Stud 8

Peter Aristidou just took most of Richard Ashby's chips over the course of two Stud 8 hands.

Aristidou: {x-}{x-} / {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts} / {x-}
Ashby: {x-}{x-} / {2-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts} / {x-}

In the first hand, Ashby called bets on every street, flashing a face card when he folded the river, indicating he'd missed a low draw.

Aristidou: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} / {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} / {5-Clubs}
Ashby: {x-}{x-} / {9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} / {x-}

Ashby led fourth and Aristidou raised. He then called bets on fifth and sixth before folding the river and flashing another face card, indicating he'd missed his low draw. Aristidou showed aces in the hole and had drawn the {5-Clubs} for a low as well.

Ashby now has just a few bets left in his stack and Aristidou is off life support.

Chidwick Runs over the Table

Level 18

Stud

Stephen Chidwick bet 10,000 on fourth street, fifth street was checked and Richard Ashby then bet sixth street for 20,000, which Chidwick called. The chip leader then bet on seventh street and Ashby called to muck versus two pair.

Chidwick: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} / {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
Ashby: {X-}{X-} / {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{J-Hearts}{A-Hearts} / muck

Stud 8

Oliver Gill leaned over to Chidwick and said "it feels like in the two days you haven't lost a pot," and indeed the Brit kept amassing chips left and right. In another hand against Ashby, he bet fourth and sixth street to enforce a fold from his opponent.

Ashby: {X-}{X-} / {J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts} / muck
Chidwick: {X-}{X-} / {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}

Aristidou At Risk

Level 18

Razz

Peter Aristidou's stack is in the danger zone now as it's half the size it was at the start of the day.

He recently lost a Razz hand to the aggressive Richard Ashby, calling when Ashby competed and bet on fourth, only to fold when he paired up on fifth.

Aristidou: {x-}{x-} / {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Ashby: {x-}{x-} / {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades}

Benjamin Benoit Eliminated in 6th Place ($10,080)

Level 18
Benjamin Benoit
Benjamin Benoit

Omaha 8

Benjamin Benoit had the majority of his short stack in preflop from the hijack and Jarryd Godena stayed in the hand out of the small blind to lead the flop {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Benoit moved all in for less than 30,000 and Godena called.

Benoit: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for a pair of sevens, the nut flush draw and an ace-three low draw
Godena: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for ace-high and an ace-deuce low draw

The {K-Diamonds} on the turn vaulted Godena into the lead and the Aussie stayed there with the blank {10-Diamonds} on the river to send Benoit to the rail in 6th place.
