Engel in the Lead; Dzivielevski Short

Omaha Hi-Lo Limits 17,500-35,000

Ari "BodogAri" Engel jumped into the lead when his {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for the nut flush won the entire pot against "RaulGonzalez" on a board of {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

Prior to that, Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov jumped above a million in chips but suffered a setback against "RaulGonzalez". It was then also the defending champion who dragged in a bigger pot to send Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski on a short stack.

Dzivielevski four-bet preflop, bet the {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} flop and was called. The Brazilian bet the {a-Diamonds} turn and called a raise to then check-call the {q-Spades} river. "RaulGonzalez" tabled the {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a straight and nut low to claim it all.
