Ha on the Hunt for a Second Title at the Winter Poker Open
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 500 ante
As Day 1c of the PLO Championship progresses, it's worth mentioning that the players Monday evening are chasing the impressive stack of Day 1b chip leader Thai Ha, who bagged a massive 940,000 chips in his opening flight on Sunday.
Ha will have a great chance at taking home this event's title on Tuesday, which would go nicely with his earlier triumph, as he won the first event of the series on Friday, the $400 Monster Stack.
Ha took home the trophy and the $21,000 first-place prize after a deal was struck four-handed.

White Doubles Through Wayne
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 500 ante
With about 15,000 in the middle on a completed board of K♠Q♣J♠5♣K♥, bets and raises were exchanged between Matthew White in the big blind and Lawrence Wayne in the cutoff until the dealer announced "all-in and a call" with White's last 28,500 chips committed to the pot.
White showed down K♣Q♠9♠3♥ for kings full of queens, while Wayne could only show A♠J♣10♥7♣ for a flopped Broadway straight that got rivered by White to score the double-up.

Nlemchi Felts Lazar
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 400 ante
About 8,000 was in the middle on a flop of A♥9♦4♥ with action checked to a short-stacked Lawrence Lazar on the button who committed his last 4,900 chips.
Ike Nlemchi called in early position while two other players folded to leave Lazar's fate to Nlemchi.
Lawrence Lazar: A♦J♣3♦2♠
Ike Nlemchi: 8♥8♦7♦6♥
The turn 4♣ gave Lazar two pair, but he still needed to fade a heart on the river to survive. unfortunately for him, the K♥ fell to give Nlemchi his flush to take the hand and send Lazar back to the registration cage for a re-entry.
