Lunkin Runs Aces into Kings

Vitaly Lunkin
Vitaly Lunkin

Vitaly Lunkin got his short stack in on a flop of {Q-Hearts} {K-Hearts} (X) with {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {10-Clubs}. Aces are awfully nice in pot-limit omaha, but they're not nice when your opponent has kings and flops his set. Lunkin's opponent quickly called him down with {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {4-Spades}, and two blanks on the turn and river ushered him out the door in time to grab dessert and catch a late show.

Boatman Finds Double

Ross Boatman was all in from the cutoff following a raise from Noah Boeken who was in the tank as we approached the table. It was 28,400 to to Boeken who deliberated before committing to match the bet.

Boatman: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Boeken: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Boatman had the advantage with the aces, but the flop of {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} turned things around as Boeken flopped two pair. However the {3-Diamonds} on the turn and {3-Spades} on the river gave Boatman a better two pair with aces and threes to collect the double up.

Boatman is up to 62,000 with Boeken at 87,000.

Dwan Busts Benyamine

David Benyamine
David Benyamine

With David Benyamine's last chips in on the flop, Tom Dwan and Tony Paino continued betting into the side pot on the turn with the board reading {4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}. Dwan bet 42,800 and Paino called before both players checked the {5-Diamonds} river.

Paino showed {4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for trip fours but Dwan had caught the river with his {5-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Dwan takes the pot to move up to 289,000. Paino is down to 145,000 while Benyamine's cards hit the muck and he was eliminated.

Selbst Falls Out

Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

Vitaly Lunkin opened the pot with a late-position raise, and Vanessa Selbst three-bet to 10,400 from the big blind. Lunkin called, and the two of them took a flop of {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}, and Selbst moved her last 23,400 chips into the pot. Lunkin quickly called.

Showdown
Lunkin: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {9-Clubs}
Selbst: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {10-Spades} {7-Hearts}

It was bad news for the at-risk Selbst, out-pipped by Lunkin's one-better overpair. The {J-Diamonds} on the turn was a blank for her, and so was the {7-Spades} river, and she has run out of chips. Lunkin notches the knockout, chipping up to 125,000 in the process.
