Matt O'Halloran

Level 3 : Blinds 700/1,400, 140 ante

Last year, "jokkee_apart" emerged victorious in the highest buy-in PLO tournament of the WCOOP series. They have appeared in today's field, seeking to defend their title.

They opened to 4,900. Directly on their left, Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski, made the call, before "boerni21", the big blind, made it 20,300. Both players called.

On the A♠3♠3♦ flop, "boerni21" continued their aggression, firing out 6,300, and getting calls from both players. On the 6♦ turn, "boerni21" sized up to 34,104. "jokkee_apart" made the call while Dzivielevski got out of the way.

On the 3♣ river, "boerni21" fired yet again, this time for the pot, a bet worth 149,408. The defending champ surrendered their hand, conceding the pot to "boerni21"

Level 2 : Blinds 600/1,200, 120 ante

After Gavin "gavz101" Cochrane was eliminated when he ran his full house into quads, he reentered the tournament and was sat at the same table, where he quickly got back in the action.

Cochrane opened to 4,200 from under the gun, earning one caller, Aku "Aku1206" Joentausta, who sat in the cutoff.

Action checked through on the 10♦7♦8♠ flop, leading to the K♠ turn. On this turn, Cochrane check-raised from 10,920 to 43,680. Joentausta made the call.

On the 3♦ river, Cochrane fired out 31,450. Joentausta raised to 192,630, nearly putting his opponent all-in. Cochrane made the call.

Joentausta turned over A♦A♣J♠2♠ for a pair of aces before Cochrane showed 10♣9♦7♣6♦, a rivered flush. Cochrane raked in the pot, sitting now with more than twice a starting stack.
