Karmazinas Doubles Through Chouity

Nicolas Chouity raised - it seems like we've been using that phrase Nicolas Chouity raised a lot today - to 375,000 on the button, and Dominykas Karmazinas shoved from the small blind for 1.5 million. Once Chouity had done the requisite asking how much it was, he announced," Let's gamble. Call."

Karmazinas: {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}
Chouity: really gambling with {K-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}

Board: {10-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {2-Clubs}

Karmazinas doubled to over 3 million to the delight of the Lithuanian contingent at the rail, including one Mr. Tony G. Chouity however remains a massive chip leader as we head into the dinner break.

Herve Costa Eliminated in 4th Place (�500,000)

Costa - 4th place
Costa - 4th place
Nicolas Chouity, who had shoved the two previous hands but no-one wanted to call all in, this time just raised to 450,000. Herve Costa shoved from the button, the blinds ducked out of the way, and Chouity made the call.

Costa was ahead.

Costa: {A-Spades} {9-Hearts}
Chouity: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}

Board: an unequivocally pro-Chouity {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {3-Hearts}

Chouity's rail went wild, and we are now three-handed.

Chouity Takes a Chunk Out of Klinger

Josef "Pepe" Klinger opened for 375,000 only for Nicolas Chouity to make it 850,000. Everyone else folded, Klinger called, and they saw a flop.

Flop: {4-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}

Klinger checked, and then called a 700,000 bet from Chouity. They saw a turn.

Turn: {3-Hearts}

Klinger checked again, and once more called the bet from Chouity, this time for 1,375,000.

River: {4-Diamonds}

Klinger checked once more, and this time the bet from Chouity was all in to cover him. Klinger thought about it, but folded.

With that, Chouity moved up to 16,785,000, the most he's had all day - and he's had a lot all day. Klinger dropped back to 3.6 million, still good enough for second place in the chip counts.
