What a Read!!

[user38449]

Van Marcus just made the kind of laydown that explains why he's got a spot at the final table.

On a board showing {A-Diamonds}

, Lee Watkinson passes the first action to Van Marcus who bets out 11,500, leaving himself approximately 27,000 behind. Lee then announces, "I'm all in," sending a visibly frustrated Marcus into the tank.

After a bit of head shaking, Marcus folds a pair of jacks face up on the table, drawing several "Ooh's" and "Aww's" from the rail. "Nice laydown," Watkinson told Marcus, as he turned over A-6 for what would've been a larger full house.

Michael "Sticky" Guttman Eliminated in 6th Place (AU$30,960)

[user57954]

Michael "Sticky" Guttman opened the action with a raise to 9,000. Lee Watkinson makes the call in position and the blinds fold.

Flop: {10-Clubs}

Guttman bet the pot making it 22,500 to go. Watkinson instantly and silently pushes all of his remaining chips into the middle and Guttman goes into the tank. The bet is for 59,000 and covers Guttman. He eventually makes the call and the cards are tabled:

Guttman: {K-Spades}

Watkinson: {10-Spades}

The turn is the {4-Spades}

and river

and Watkinson's trip tens are good to take the pot. This is not the first time Watkinson and Guttman have tangled in a major Omaha tournament. At the 2006 WSOP Guttman finished runner-up to Watkinson in the $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha World Championship. Once again today Watkinson gets the better of Guttman, eliminating him from today's event in 6th place for AU$30,960.
