Anthony McNamara - 5th Place

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Anthony McNamara came back from the break with 19,000 chips and limits of 8,000 and 16,000. He was in early position and raised the first hand he was dealt. Big stacks Van Marcus and Michael Guzzardi both called that bet, then called the last 3,000 on the flop and checked the hand down. The final board came {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

. Marcus showed {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

for the second-nut low; Guzzardi showed {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

for two pair, queens and threes. McNamara's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

wasn't good enough for either half. He's out of the tournament, collecting AU$8,330 along the way.

This is shaping up to be an epic heads-up battle between Van Marcus and Michael Guzzardi.
