You Take The Hi, I'll Take The Lo
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.

Bloch: 
/

Slow Days; Tennis Thrills
Level 5
The pay has been relatively slow in the first few levels, with no player surging to any sort of dominating chip lead. Gary Benson is the only player in real trouble, with his short stack needing some help.
Most of the talk around the tables have been on the womans tennis, with wagers being place on Kim Clijsters at serveral tables.

Scoop The Triple Up
Level 6
Stud Hi/Lo
We caught the action on the river, with Gary Benson allin against two opponents.
Benson would obviously be happy to take just half the pot to stay alive but when his hand was all said and done his 
/ 
would be good enough to scoop the pot against the single pair and no low qualifier of Bruno Portaro and the pair of queens with no low qualifier for Daniel Alaei.
Benson triples up to around 10,000.
