Gary Long Flops It, Gets His Double-Up

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

We saw Gary Long standing up after pushing his last 12,000 chips into the pot from the cutoff position. Long was called by a player in the hijack and it was up to the dealer to decide this one.

Showdown

Long: {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Long was slightly ahead with his pocket tens and suited connector, but as is always the case with Omaha the flop would settle things, and after it fell {J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} Long's nut straight gave him a commanding lead. The {J-Clubs} on the turn further solidified Long's holding, and after the {K-Spades} fell on the river Long had scored a much needed double-up.

He now sits with a little over 20,000 and will need to keep making moves if he hopes to survive the minefield of Day 2.
