We caught up with the action on fifth street, where it was checked to Buchman who bet. Both his opponents called, and on sixth, the gentleman with a pair of aces showing led. Buchman and Kochelaevskiy called.
On seventh the same action occured, and the player with aces showing opened 
for just the pair of aces with no low. Buchman opened 
for tens and sixes with no low, and Kochelaevskiy mucked.
Buchman scooped, adding to his already above average stack.

Level 12
Omaha 8/b
Dave Stann opened with a raise, and Dylan Linde and Allen Bari each put in a few extra bets to go three-handed to the flop. We didn't see the action -- it looked like three bets apiece -- and we joined as the dealer spread out . Bari led out with the first bet, and Stann called. Linde raised to two bets, Bari called all in for the 200 he had left, and Stann called as well.
That led them to the turn, and now Lind put his last 700 into the pot. Stann called, and two players were at risk to him as the cards were opened.
Showdown
Bari: 
Stann:
Linde: 
When the filled out the board on the river, Bari was awarded the high half of the main pot while Stann and Linde chopped the low. In their side pot, Linde collected the high half to quarter Stann.
After that pot, Bari and Linde are still short with around 10,000 chips apiece, and Stann's hit knocks him back down to a still-comfortable 52,000.
