Chip Jett was very active in this round of holdem. Right out of the gate he flopped a straight on a Ks Qc Js board with 10s 9d. Jett bet it the whole way and Adam Geyer was kind enough to look him up. Two hands later Raymond Davis made his final stand with A-K, but Dao Bac rivered a straight with a 9s 5s, and Davis bowed out in 4th place.
Jett then continued his dominance, taking a nice pot off of Bac with K J, paired up with the K 7 5 6 10 board. Jett also got action from Bac when he flopped trip Aces later in the round.
OMAHA EIGHT-OR-BETTER

Players are just now returning from a 15 minute break that followed the conclusion of the Stud round.
STUD EIGHT-OR-BETTER

After being scooped in the previous hour by Adam Geyer, Shchemelev was eliminated when he got all of his chips in with Queens and eights with both Chip Jett and Dao Bac calling. However, Jett turned up three sevens and that spelled disaster (and elimination) for Shchemelev.
STUD
Raymond Davis took a sizable pot off of Imre Leibold raising him off the hand on 6th street and showing his pocket sixes to match the one in his board once he folded. Davis has been the life of the table so far. He has been very talkative the whole way through, particularly discussing where he’s going to enjoy his winnings tonight.
Adam Geyer has pulled himself into the chip lead do in large part to his elimination of Irme Leibold. Geyer had Leibold up against it with a made straight to Leibold’s trip Queens, and dodged Leibold’s nine outs on the river to eliminate him. Geyer then took a nice pot off of Davis, leaving him crippled going into the break.
