Velador Wins Event No. 33, Chiu Falls in 2nd ($160,902)
Jose-Luis Velador raised from the button and David Chiu re-raised 124,000 more. Velador called and they saw a flop.
Chiu bet out 372,000 on a flop of 6
32
and Velador raised the pot, putting Chiu all in. Chiu called and they showed down:
Chiu: A
10
Velador: 76
Velador had a pair of sixes and Chiu was still alive with two overcards. The 9 turn didn’t help Chiu, and he was dead to an ace or a 10. But the river was the J and Chiu finished runner-up.
Velador won the event, and with it he earned his second career WSOP bracelet and $260,517. Chiu fell just shy of winning his 5th WSOP bracelet, but won $160,902 for his solid play.

Velador: K3
MacPhee: 77
Velador’s kings were ahead of MacPhee’s pocket sevens. The turn brought the 10 and MacPhee was down to two sevens for his outs. But the A fell on the river and Velador exploded to 1.5 million in chips as MacPhee was gone in 5th, making $62,791.

Chiu: KK105
Mitchell: 10987

Sterling: AK
MacPhee: 1010
The flop brought the wrong kind of red, coming Q65 to keep MacPhee ahead. The turn was the 6, leaving Sterling dependent on an ace or a king only. But the river brought the 10 to give MacPhee an unnecessary full house, and Sterling was out in 9th place, making $20,698.
