Omaha-8:

"Miami" John Cernuto just got the last of his chips in the middle against Chad Brown. The players showed:

Cernuto: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}
Brown: {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {4-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Spades} and Cernuto's queens were best. He doubled up to about 34,000 chips.

Nuts for the Croc

Omaha-8:

Billy "The Croc" Argyros raised preflop and Mickey Appleman called from the big blind. Appleman check-called a bet from Argyros on every street, the board ending up {10-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {K-Hearts}.

"Nuts" said Argyros, after Appleman had called his final bet, showing {A-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} for the nut straight. Appleman mucked disgustedly as the Croc dragged the pot.

After the hand, Argyros was up to 160,000 while Appleman fell to 153,000.
