Loman Makes It Two In A Row To Stay Alive

Level 17

Coming back from our last break, Kyle Loman was playing the extreme short stack and needed to make some moves in order to survive. On a hand of Stud-8, Loman got it all-in against two opponents who checked it down trying to eliminate the vulnerable player. Loman's final board read {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}and his two pair were good enough for a chop, after one opponent tabled the {K-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs} for a 2-4-6-7-8 low.

In the very next hand, this time playing Hold'em, Loman raised to 8,000 from late position and was three-bet to 12,000 by the button. Loman made the call and we saw a flop of {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. The button bet enough to force Loman all-in and showed down the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}, which was far ahead of Loman's {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}.

Turn: {A-Spades}
River: {5-Clubs}

With fortunate cards on both the turn and river, Loman finished with a wheel straight and picked up the pot, putting him back into contention as Day 2 rolls on.
