No One Busting Just Yet

Omaha-8

Our shortest stack in the field, Yan Chen has just collected some chips to potentially avoid the inglorious honor of being the first bustout of the tournament.

After five players took a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} the action was checked to Chen in the cutoff who fired a bet. Andy Block in the big blind and Chau Giang in middle position were the only resistance.

The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and again it was checked to Chen who fired another bet. Once again his opponents made the call.

On the {4-Diamonds} river, Bloch and Giang both checked once more and Chen fired. Bloch gave it up but Giang made the call.

Chen tabled {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{K-Spades} for the seven-high straight and best low to scoop the pot. He's back up to 86,000 chips.
