Bill Chen Eliminated in 18th Place ($7,585)

Stud

Bill Chen was down to just over 16,000 chips after antes had been paid and was forced to make the bring in with the {6-Clubs}. Stephen Su raised from across the table with the {6-Diamonds} and Chen three-bet all in with Su calling.

Chen: {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} / {6-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{a-Hearts} / {4-Spades}
Su: {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} / {6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} / {7-}

Chen was ahead with his twos at the start and stayed there through the rest of the hand, but Su caught a seven on the river to make for a higher pair, sending Chen to the rail.

Chris Dombrowski Eliminated in 19th Place ($7,585)

Chris Dombrowski - 19th Place

Razz

Alexander Wice: (X)(X) / {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{J-Diamonds} - fold
Chris Dombrowski: (X)(X) / {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} / (X)
Matt Vengrin: (X)(X) / {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds} / (X)

Dombrowski was all in by fourth street with Vengrin driving the action all the way. Wice called up until sixth street, when he folded the {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} from the hole face up. Dombrowski held the {A-Spades}{6-Hearts} underneath and Vengrin the {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Vengrin's last card was the {10-Spades} and Dombrowski's was the {2-Clubs}.

Vengrin eliminated Dombrowski and now has a massive amount of chips for about 325,000. He has a pile of chips in front of his stack and is stacking his chips in a very weird way so that it's almost impossible to eye the exact amount. Even Vengrin couldn't tell us how much he had.

D'ags Continues to Build

Omaha 8/b

A few hands after his recent double up John D'Agostino raised from middle position, going all in, in an Omaha 8/b hand with Matt Vengrin calling from the button and Dario Minieri calling from the small blind.

The flop came {6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Minieri bet with Vengrin calling. The two would follow the same betting pattern with the {9-Hearts} on the turn and the {5-Spades} on the river.

When it was time to show the cards they looked something like this:

D'Agostino: {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Minieri: {a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Vengrin: {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

D'Agostino won the high from the main pot with his straight. Minieri and Vengrin split the main low.

Minieri won the high portion of the side pot and once more split the low portion with Vengrin.

When the hand was complete, Vengrin asked Minieri how he could bet the river with nothing but a pair of threes. Scott Seiver chimed in and said it was because he had a lock on the low.

D'Agostino Doubles Through Vengrin

Pot-Limit Omaha

All the chips were in the middle preflop between John D'Agostino, Matt Vengrin with D'Agostino's tournament life on the line.

Vengrin: {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Spades}
D'Agostino: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The flop came {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} which put Vengrin in the lead. But D'Agostino ran runner-runner on the turn and river when they came {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} giving D'Agostino trips and another shot with 34,000 chips.
