Level 23
George Rechnitzer - 9th Place.
George Rechnitzer - 9th Place.

Stud Eight or Better

George Rechnitzer got the last of his chips in with an {a-}{2-}{3-}{7-} against Frankie O'Dell. After all of O'Dell's cards were out he'd made just a pair of fives with no low. Rechnitzer, having picked up a {9-} on fifth and paint on sixth, had plenty of outs to survive. Unfortunately, he drew a {10-} to bubble out of the official final table.

Straight Flush for Ortynskiy

Level 23

Stud Eight or Better

The hand started with four-way action. Frankie O'Dell completed, and then Rep Porter, Tom Schneider, and Viatcheslav Ortynskiy all called. The field narrowed on fifth street, however. After Ortynskiy bet, O'Dell and Porter both folded, but Schneider made the call. He called Ortynskiy's bet again on sixth street, an the players received their revier cards with the following boards:

Ortynskiy: {8-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Spades}{j-Spades}
Schneider: {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Ortynskiy bet again, and Schneider folded, showing two hidden aces for a missed low draw and a pair he assumed was no good. Ortynskiy reciprocated by showing he had the {q-Spades} for the straight flush before he raked in the pot. He now has 520,000 in chips.
