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.

Urbanovich Bubbles the Final Table

Urbanovich vs Engel

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

Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov left Dzmitry "Colisea" Urbanovich short after he bet the {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts} river and Urbanovich check-folded, having three-bet preflop and fired the flop and turn.

That left Urbanovich with just shy of half a starting stack and he invested all but the last 6,140 preflop against Ari "BodogAri" Engel in a battle of the blinds. They got it in after the {6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop for the following showdown.

Dzmitry "Colisea" Urbanovich: {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Ari "BodogAri" Engel: {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

The {q-Hearts} turn gave Urbanovich some hope with the superior flush draw on top but Engel further improved to a full house on the {6-Spades} river.

Leonard vs Glaser
Leonard vs Glaser

In a Deuce to Seven hand, Patrick "pads1161" Leonard was left with proverbial dust as he had 1,221 chips left over. Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser had made an eight-seven-five to drag in the pot.

Leonard survived once and was then all-in out of the big blind. Glaser had raised from under the gun and all other players folded.

Patrick "pads1161" Leonard: {j-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser: {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and Glaser's straight secured the pot to claim the rest, too.
