Luis Velador

Omaha

This just in: Daniel Makowsky is running over his table.

In the last hand, he was heads up with Luis Velador on a flop of {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

. Velador check-called a bet of 10,000, and the turn card brought the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

. Velador checked again, and Makowsky fired out 32,000 chips. After a moment, Velador check-raised all in for ~55,000 total, and Makowsky quickly called the extra amount.

Velador turned over {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

for a big draw. Makowsky was ahead with his {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

. The river card was a stone-cold blank, as the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

did nothing to improve Velador. His pair of aces were no good, and he has been knocked out in 23rd place.
