Kassin Catching Chips

Omaha-8

Joseph Weinberger was under the gun when he opened up the pot. Charles Kassin called out of the big blind and a {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop was dealt.

Kassin check-called a bet here and the {6-Diamonds} hit the turn. Kassin again check-called, prompting the dealer to flip over the {2-Clubs}. Kassin would lead here and Weinberger would call. Kassin tabled his {q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} the straight winning the high and the sixty-four low giving him the scoop.

Hooman Takes the Pot

Omaha-8

When we arrived at Table 453, a {6-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Clubs} board was already on the felt and Hooman Nikzad was set to act, betting into Tom Schneider. A few moments and Schneider would make it two bets to go. Nikzad called and the {k-Spades} river was dealt.

This time when Nikzad bet, Schneider simply called. Nikzad then tabled his {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{a-Hearts}, with the broadway straight enough to rake in the pot. Schneider showed a {6-} and mucked the rest of his cards.
