More chops than my local butcher's at the moment as yet another pot is split. This time it was Chris Tryba who was all in, up against Christopher George with cards turned over by third street.
George: //
Tryba: //
Despite a scare on fifth street (Tryda screamed like a 10-year old girl when the hit the felt), George's final two cards were both black, but low enough to warrant half the pot with eight low.
George - 440,000
Tryba - 80,000
Tryba still low and my spider senses are tingling...
Jonathan Bascom was all in for his last 30,000 and found resistance in neighbor David Levi. However, barring a gutshot, it was pretty much all over by sixth street and the pot was chopped.
Karina Jett: (XX) / - fold
Jonathan Bascom: / /
David Warga: / /
Karina Jett completed before folding to a raise from Jonathan Bascom and a reraise from David Warga. Heads up, the rest of Bascom's chips went in on fourth street and they turned their cards up.
Warga's low came in on fifth street and Bascom took the high, not with the flush he'd been heading towards but with a pair of fives.
"We've gotta stop playing this garbage," said Warga as they each took back their own chips.
It's been a slippery slope for former chip leader Maxwell Troy since the start of this final table. He's down to 460,000 after losing two pots in quick succession, one of which was against Karina Jett who now has close to one million in chips.
Kristy Gazes is back at the rail, delighted that Karina Jett is in the lead. She's brought a bunch of friends with her this time, and the chants of, "Go KJ! Go KJ!" are now being alternated with that "OOH-ah OOH-ah" thing that most of us haven't heard since the '90s.
David Warga: / /
Karina Jett: (XX) / - fold
Jonathan Bascom: / /
David Warga made the bring in and Karina Jett completed. Over to the short-stacked Jonathan Bascom, who raised - and back to Warga, who reraised. Jett got out of their way and Bascom capped; Warga made the call and they received another card.
Bascom was first to act on fourth street and following another brief raising war he was all in. They turned their cards up, and the dealer kept going.
By the end of the hand, Warga's low had come in and Bascom's aces had held up to chop the pot. Bascom is no longer the short stack, though - Chris Tryba had to bring in a couple times and folded to a completion every time, pushing his stack down to around 100,000, a little less than Bascom's stack.
Tryba brought in, Karina Jett completed, Warga raised and both players called. Warga bet fourth street; just Jett called. Both players checked on fifth, only for Tryba to call a bet on sixth. Check, check on seventh. Chop it up.
