Hoyt Verner Eliminated in 14th Place ($9,060)

Level 21
Hoyt Verner
Hoyt Verner

Omaha 8

Benjamin Lukas raised preflop and Hoyt Verner made the call to see a {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop, Lukas check-called Verner's bet there and then a second bet on the {6-Clubs} turn. The river was the {7-Diamonds} and Lukas set Verner all in and was duly called.

Lukas flipped {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a seven high straight and a 7-6-4-3-2 low, Verner showed {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for aces and a 7-6-5-4-A low and was knocked out.

Ashton Chops Up Ahmed and Jamison

Level 21

Omaha 8

It was a three way, three bet pot between Matthew Ashton (initial raiser) Owais Ahmed (who had made it three bets) and Gregory Jamison (big blind).

Ashton fired on the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop, Ahmed and Jamison both called with the same repetition of action on the [2h turn and {5-Spades} river.

Ashton showed {A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for kings up for the high. Ahmed held {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{J-Spades}{5-Clubs} for the nut low while Jamison had {A-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for the same hand and they each took a quarter of the pot.

No Tolls For Bell

Level 21

Omaha 8

Matthew Ashton raised from the cutoff and Chris Bell defended in the big blind to see a flop of {J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Bell check-raised the flop and Ashton called before Bell's remaining chips went in on the {2-Diamonds} turn. Bell showed {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a flush and the nut low draw, Ashton held {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades}{x-} - we missed his fourth card but it didn't matter because the {10-Hearts} river made no difference and Bell increased his stack to 120,000.

Verner Triples Up

Omaha 8

Matthew Ashton raised from the cutoff and Benjamin Lukas made it three bets on the button, Hoyt Verner called all in from the small blind and Ashton made the call.

The {7-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board was checked down all the way, Ashton picking up the 18,000 side pot with {A-}{3-}{3-}{6-} over Lukas' {A-}{2-}{2-}{6-} but Verner showed {A-}{9-}{7-}{7-} for quads to scoop the entire main pot to survive.

Mizrachi Grinding the Competition to Dust

Level 20

Omaha 8

Riding a short stack, Hoyt Verner put it all on the line against both Michael Mizrachi and Owais Ahmed. After the Grinder raised to 16,000 before the flop, both Verner and Ahmed made the call. The flop fell {10-Hearts}{A-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Verner bet, Ahmed called and Mizrachi raised it up.

Verner made the call and his last chips were in the middle. Ahmed decided to reraise and watched the Grinder do the same. Ahmed called and the two players saw the turn card come {A-Clubs} as they contested the side pot. Ahmed checked the turn and Mizrachi continued his aggressive line, firing another bet into the pot. Ahmed came along and the river fell {8-Clubs}. After another check-call, it was time for the hands to be revealed.

Mizrachi: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Ahmed: {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Verner: {3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Mizrachi claimed the high half of the pot with his trip aces, while Verner and Ahmed chopped the low half with identical A-2-3-4-8 lows. The win put the Grinder over 700,000 chips for a commanding lead, as no other player has more than 300,000.
