Another Elimination for Matthew Staples

Matt Staples

Moments ago, Matthew Staples was the chip leader but had run kings into the aces of Felipe Boianovsky to move back to just over starting stack.

He was in a hand against Kimmo Fagerholm, with Staples check-calling 26,000 on a board of {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}.

The river was the {8-Clubs}. Staples checked again and Fagherholm shoved for around 62,000. Staples snap-called.

Fagerholm held {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for top pair, but Staples had flopped a set with {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and chipped back up to 350,000.

Love PLO? You'll Love These PLO Daily Legends at partypoker

partypoker Omaha Daily Legends
partypoker Omaha Daily Legends

Pot Limit Omaha players are often overlooked when it comes to tournament poker. Not at partypoker where the PLO players have some incredible tournaments to get their teeth into: the PLO Daily Legends.

partypoker's Daily Legends tournaments have proven immensely popular for several reasons. They have reduced a late registration period and limited re-entries (usually just a single re-entry) which levels the playing field. They finish at a reasonable hour, too, without compromising the average stack size. They are genius really.

PLO Daily Legends follow in the same vein except they are all Omaha tournaments instead of hold'em. Buy-ins range from the $2.20 Forge and increase to the $55 Chieftain.
