You Take The Hi, I'll Take The Lo
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 4
Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo
Joe Marchal limped under the gun before Robert Williamson III min-raised from middle position. Eli Elezra and Mike Thorpe would make the call from the blinds and we would see a flop.
Flop: 
Elezra and Thorpe checked to Marchal who threw in a 300 chip bet. Only Williamson III would make the call and the two players would see the 
roll off on the turn. Two checks would then send the 
out on the river as both players would again check this card.
Williamson: 
Marchal: 
A friendly pot in the end as it is chopped in half, with Marchal's two-pair good enough for the High, as Williamson takes down the low with ace-two.

Portaro With The One
Level 4
2-7 Triple Draw
Bruno Portara raised first up and the action quickly folded around to Jamie Pickering in the big blind.
Both player took two cards as Portaro led the betting and recieved a call.
The next round would see both players with the same action again, both drawing one card and Portaro leading the betting and getting the call. On the final round Portaro would stand and Pickering would take one. Portaro again bet out and this time Pickering elected to fold, missing his draw.
"Good fold," said Portaro as he turned over 
.

Break It Up
Level 3
The players are going on a 15 minute break. Most tables will come back to playing 2-7 Triple Draw, while some PLO action will still be taking place.
Maria Low
Level 3
2-7 Triple Draw
Jeffrey Lisandro raised under the gun and when the action folded around to Maria Ho in the big blind she would re-raise.
The two players took one card each and then elected to check. On the next round, Lisandro led out and took one card as Ho made the call and stood pat. Lisandro would take another card on the next draw as he would check-call again. Lisandro led out on the last betting round and having taken no cards in the previous two draws, Ho would raise.
Lisandro made the call and mucked his hand as Ho turned over 
and took down the pot.
Oh No For Ho
Level 3
Pot Limit Omaha
The action folded around to David Oppenheim in the hijack, who made a pot sized raise. Maria Ho made the call from the cut-off and Joseph Serock would come along for the ride in the small blind.
Flop: 
Serock fired out 1,500 which was too much for Oppenheim who elected to fold. When play came to Ho she would raise to 4,800. Serock then proceeded to push his stack in the middle and following suit, Ho made the call.
Ho: 
Serock: 
Serock would be in front with his top-set, but Ho's nut-flush draw and bottom-set would still have some outs.
The 
on the turn changed very little and as the 
rolled off on the river it was Serock's pot to take, moving himself up to over 40,000 while Ho slips to only a few thousand.
Stack'em to the Top!
With the chatter a-plenty and the action scarce, here are some random chip counts for you.
