[user25067]

Billy the Croc just took down two consecutive Omaha hands to send his stack up to 97,500 (he finally decided to clean up his chip-lake).

In the first hand, Paul Taylor raised and the Croc called. The flop was {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

. Taylor bet, the Croc raised and Taylor called. The turn was the {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

and both players checked. The river was the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

. The Croc bet out and Taylor reluctantly made the call.

Billy the Croc showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

for a flush and Taylor mucked. The chip-lake nearly doubled in size on that one.

On the second hand, Rainer Quel limped in on the button, Billy the Croc raised from the small blind and Quel called. The flop was {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

. The Croc bet and Quel called. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

. The Croc led out again and Quel called. The river was the {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

. The Croc fired a third time and Quel folded. The Croc showed two of his four cards, the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

for a full house and scooped the pot.

Billy the Croc is now second in chips and a contender for this title.
