Dzivielevski Chips Up With a Straight

Omaha Hi-Lo Limits 2,000-4,000

Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski won a series of hands and the biggest of them came in a showdown pot against Christopher "Apotheosis92" Kruk. The Canadian raised the small blind to earn a call and bet the {k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, earning a call from Dzivielevski. Kruk check-called the {10-Clubs} turn and check-raised the {j-Spades} river.

Dzivielevski made the call with the {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} for a straight and caught Kruk bluffing with {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} for the busted nut low draw.

Omaha Hi-Lo Limits 2,000-4,000

In a three-way three-bet pot to the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop, Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov check-raised out of the big blind and Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot called. Strebkov bet the {5-Hearts} turn and {3-Spades} river to earn calls and revealed {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for a set to earn the full pot, as Talbot had no high or low.

Christopher "Apotheosis92" Kruk then won a pot that started with four bets preflop to a three-way {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Spades} flop. Kruk raised, picking up calls from Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski and Talbot. The latter check-called the {9-Clubs} turn and check-folded the {8-Diamonds} river as Kruk earned the pot without showdown.
