Pot to Potter, Loman Lower

Level 15

Omaha 8

Kyle Loman raised from middle position, Jason Potter three-bet from the cutoff, and it folded back to Loman who called. The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Loman checked, Potter bet, and Loman called. The turn was the {4-Clubs}. Loman again checked, Potter bet once again, and again Loman called.

The river was the {K-Hearts}. Loman checked one more time, and when Potter pushed out yet another big bet (5,000), Loman finally let it go.

Loman is at 40,800 now, and Potter 68,000.

Ashton Knocks Out Yogel, Time For the Bubble

Omaha 8

Benjamin Yogel raised UTG and was called in middle position by George Rechnitzer and Matt Ashton.

Yogel moved all in on a flop of {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, Rechnitzer raised only for Ashton to make it three bets with a check-raise from the small blind. Rechnitzer made the call and then tank-called a bet on the {J-Clubs} turn before both players checked the {8-Diamonds} river.

Ashton scooped with {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}, ahead of Rechnitzer's {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{A-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for the side pot as well as Yogel's {A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades} for the main pot.

Binger on Bubble Play

Level 15

Omaha 8

It folded around to Michael Binger on the button who raised, and when Gregory Jamison in the small blind looked like he was contemplating sticking around, Binger offered some advice.

"Remember, we're on the bubble guys. Don't want to go out on the bubble!"

Jamison called amid chuckles all around. Jamison has about 45,000 and Binger around 100,000, so it would probably require a remarkable hand for Jamison to bust here.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs}, Jamison checked, Binger bet, and Jamison let it go. "I had it," said Binger, showing two of his four cards -- {A-Spades}{8-Spades} -- as he grabbed the chips.

No Time For the Jim

Omaha 8

Jim Ferrel is out bubble boy, all in during a three-way hand involving Michael Binger and Michael Mariakis. Mariakis bet the river of a {6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs} board with Binger tank-folding, Mariakis showed {A-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for the second nut low and the nut flush, Ferrel could only table {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Spades} for two pair sending everyone into the money.

Karandeyev, Kessler KO'd

Level 16
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

Omaha 8

Allen Kessler raised from middle position, Scott Bohlman called from the hijack, and Maksim Karandeyev called with his last 1,400 from the button. Thomas Keller called as well from the big blind, and the flop came {2-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Keller checked, Kessler bet, Bohlman raised, Keller folded, and Kessler called.

The turn was the {Q-Hearts}, and Kessler soon had the last of his chips in versus Bohlman.

Kessler {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}
Bohlman {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Karandeyev {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The river was the {9-Clubs}, which meant there was no low and Bohlman's trip queens made the best high hand. Karandeyev goes out in 47th, Kessler in 46th, and Bohlman now has about 85,000.

Jamison Whisks Up More Chips

Omaha 8

Gregory Jamison just shipped across a huge pot with {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{J-Spades} fitting perfectly with a board of {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts} for the nut-nut. Robert Mangino and Kyle Burnside were already in by the turn and Francesco Barbaro paid off a bet on the river as well getting crippled as a result.
