Alexandre the Great

With the fast-paced nature of low-stacked Omaha tournaments, we're beginning to see a few potential chip leaders emerge, one of which is Charles Alexandre Sylvestre who has just over 37,000.

A dominant and foreboding figure on his table with his four or five towering columns, Sylvestre just eliminated two more opponents, both of whom were all in on a {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop with {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{A-Spades} and {J-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

However, Sylvestre is running hotter than a freshly made apple pie at the moment, and duly evaded any bad beats with {8-Spades}{9-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} on a {7-Hearts} turn and {Q-Hearts} river, despite both opponents thinking they'd rivered the winning hand with a flush.
