Chop It Up

Omaha-8:

Marcel Luske raised from middle position and Chad Brown called from the cutoff seat. When action hit Rob Hollink in the big blind, he put in a reraise. Both players called and it was three players to the flop.

The flop came {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} and Hollink led out. Luske and Brown both called. The {3-Spades} hit the turn and again Hollink fired. Luske and Brown came along. When the {2-Hearts} hit the river, Hollink checked. Luske bet and Brown passed. Hollink called and the players showed:

Hollink: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds}
Luske: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}

Hollink's flush took down the high while Luske's {8-?} {5-?} {3-?} {2-?} {A-?} was good for low.

The river fell the {J-Diamonds} and Flack checked again. Bueno didn't fall for it, though, and he checked behind. Flack showed {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} for the nut full house.

Crocky Setting Lines Again

Looking for Action
Looking for Action
Last night, we reported that Billy "The Croc" Argyros made a wager with his tablemate Greg "FBT" Mueller on the number of players that would be left at the end of the evening. The line was set at 65, and Crocky took $500 off FBT for betting the over.

Crocky is trying to get the same bet going with FBT again today, though so far FBT is refusing the action. He's set the line at 24 for the number of players left at the end of the day today.

Any takers?
