Jason Brown Eliminated in 7th Place ($29,679)

Jason Brown
Jason Brown

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Action folded around to Elior Sion in the cutoff and he put in a raise. Jason Brown then moved all in from the small blind for 60,000 total, and Chidwick three-bet from the big blind. Sion not only called the raise, but proceeded to call bets on the {10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} flop and {8-Hearts} turn before folding the {J-Diamonds} river.

Chidwick revealed {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{3-Clubs} for aces and jacks, which bested his opponent's {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Brown shook hands with the remaining players before taking his leave in seventh place.

Sion Takes Another One

Elior Sion
Elior Sion

Limit Hold'em:

Elior Sion is doing good work in this hold'em orbit. One hand after dragging that last pot, big blind Sion called a Robby Rasmussen under-the-gun raise.

Sion check-called a bet on the {9-Clubs} {A-Spades} {5-Spades} flop, then another on the {J-Diamonds} turn. The river {10-Hearts} went check-check, and Sion was first to show. His {6-Hearts} {6-Spades} were good enough for the pot, and he's increased even further. He's now right around the chip average.

Sion Takes One

Limit Hold'em:

Elior Sion raised under the gun, and he found calls from both David Chiu and David Rogers. Rogers was in the big blind, and he checked the {5-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} flop. Sion's bet folded Chiu out of the way, but Rogers check-called.

He check-called another bet on the {K-Hearts} turn, but he could not call the last bet. The {4-Spades} rivered, and Rogers tank-folded.

This is Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood

Stud Hi/Lo:

Elior Sion had the bring-in with the {2-Clubs} and brought it in for the full 25,000. Ylon Schwartz made the call with the {4-Diamonds}, and then David Schwartz put in a raise. Sion three-bet, Schwartz got out of the way, and Rogers came back with a four-bet. Scion five-bet and Rogers called off for 119,000 total.

Scion: {4-Clubs}{5-Hearts} / {2-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades} / {10-Clubs}
Rogers: {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs} / {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts} / {Q-Spades}

Rogers ended up with two pair and was fortunate enough to have Scion miss a low, which means he scooped to more than double.

Marlon Milne Eliminated in 8th Place ($22,358)

Marlon Milne - 8th place
Marlon Milne - 8th place

Stud Hi/Lo:

One hand after their last encounter, Marlon Milne and Ylon Schwartz got it all in again.

Milne: ({8-Clubs} {8-Spades}) / {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {3-Clubs} / (x)
Schwartz: ({J-Clubs} {2-Clubs}) / {9-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} / (x)

The chips got in on fourth street in heaving raising action, and Milne's two pair had to fade Schwartz's flush draw. It was Milne who drew the clubs on fifth and sixth, and he had the only low draw with one to come.

Schwartz rolled his river over first, though, and the {K-Clubs} was a disaster for Milne. His two pair were suddenly in a big hole, and a blank river would mean his elimination. The {Q-Hearts} was one of those blanks, and that's the one Milne received on seventh, much to his chagrin.

After a fine run this week, Marlon Milne is headed for the rail. On his way out the door, he'll pick up more than $22,000.

Milne Chops

Level 25

Stud Hi/Lo:

Ylon Schwartz brought it in with the {2-Diamonds}, and he called the completion from Marlon Milne and his {A-Spades}. Milne added the {2-Hearts} and bet fourth street. Schwartz pulled the {K-Spades}, and he raised his king-deuce. Milne had 57,000 chips in front of him at that point, and he got them all in right there.

Schwartz: ({A-Hearts} {8-Clubs}) / {2-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {3-Spades} {6-Hearts} / (x)
Milne: ({7-Spades} {3-Hearts}) / {A-Spades} {2-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {3-Clubs} / (x)

By sixth street, Milne was in front for the high half with his pair of threes, but Schwartz had made his eighty-six low. Milne was drawing live for the scoop still, but the {7-Clubs} he rivered only allowed him to take the high.

Sanjay Pandya Eliminated in 9th Place ($17,150)

Sanjay Pandya - 9th place
Sanjay Pandya - 9th place

Stud Hi/Lo:

Sanjay Pandya completed with the {Q-Hearts}, and Ylon Schwartz thought for a long while before raising with the {K-Spades}. Pandya called all in, and the cards were rolled over and the boards run out.

Pandya: ({A-Spades} {8-Hearts}) / {Q-Hearts} {2-Spades} {8-Spades} {4-Hearts} / (x)
Schwartz: ({9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}) / {K-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} / (x)

Schwartz made two pair on sixth, and Pandya needed to catch a card to stay alive. He needed an ace, eight, or low card to even have a shot. When he squeezed his last card, though, he frowned a shook his head. It was the {10-Diamonds}, and it was no use.

Pandya finished 11th in a Stud Hi/Lo event earlier this summer, and he's added a ninth-place run here in this H.O.R.S.E. event. He'll take more than $17,000 home this time.
