Play Recommences

Play has recommenced after the break, with Andrew Demetriou taking down the final two hands of Omaha Hi-Lo with a preflop raise.

We're now onto Razz!

Georgoulas Takes Huge Razz Pot

Razz:

After Abel Cabrera brought in for the first three hands of Razz, he was then involved with a big clash with Nick Georgoulas.

Georgoulas fired the whole way until Cabrera raised on sixth street. Georgoulas called and then led out on the river. Cabrera squeezed his final card before making the call.

The boards were tabled as follows:

Georgoulas: ({A-?}{6-?}) {J-?}{5-?}{4-?}{3-?} ({9-?})
Cabrera: ({5-?}{6-?}) {4-?}{10-?}{2-?}{3-?} ({Q-?})

Both players made a six-low but the ace of Georgoulas played to give him the huge pot. He's now our chip leader as Cabrera falls to around 90,000 chips.

Level Up

With no more levels in the structure, a new level has been devised as this H.O.R.S.E final table continues on for longer than most people may have thought.

Cabrera Does It In Stud

Stud:

Abel Cabrera and Nick Georgoulas were just involved in another huge clash, this time in Stud.

Cabrera bet out on fourth street, before Georgoulas took the lead on fifth and sixth streets. The river was checked down and the players tabled their cards.

Cabrera: ({K-Spades}{K-Hearts}) {2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} ({6-Diamonds})
Georgoulas: ({A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}) {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{Q-Spades}{J-Hearts} ({J-Diamonds})

Georgoulas was on a flush draw that he couldn't complete as Cabrera made kings and sixes to take down the pot!

Georgoulas Scoops In Stud Hi-Lo

Stud H/L:

Once again it was Nick Georgoulas and Abel Cabrera who were involved in another big clash. The game variation was Stud H/L with Cabrera leading the betting and Georgoulas making the call-down.

Georgoulas: ({3-Hearts}{3-Spades}) {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} ({J-Clubs})
Cabrera: ({4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}) {6-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades} ({2-Clubs})

It seemed that both players were going low but Georgoulas made the best hand on both sides to scoop the entire pot. He's now up to 270,000 with Cabrera falling to 110,000.

Demetriou Doubles

Stud H/L:

Andrew Demetriou has doubled up after scooping the pot in Stud Hi-Lo against Nick Georgoulas. Incredibly he was able to take the entire pot with the following boards:

Demetriou: ({9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}) {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{J-Spades} ({K-Diamonds})
Georgoulas: ({K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}) {4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} ({5-Diamonds})

Demetriou's pair of nines were good to collect the pot as no one could make a low, as he doubles up to 70,000.
