Omaha Hi-Lo
Action folded to Michael Glick on the button and he put in a raise. The small blind folded and Minh Ly opted to defend from the big, which brought about a flop of . Ly checked, Glick bet and Ly woke up with a check-raise. Not to be outdone, Glick three-bet all in and Ly called.
Glick:
Ly:
It was a decent flop for Ly as he had top pair and a better low draw than Glick. The turn didn't change much, and neither did the river. Ly's pair of eights held for the high and his ace-four took the low.
With that, Glick was eliminated in ninth place and the final nine players combined to the unofficial final table.
