Wheel for Yee
Level 25
: 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
After several walks and raise-and-take hands just after the return from break, we finally made it to a river. After David Singontiko folded the button, Jeffrey Gibralter completed in the small blind and Michael Yee checked his option in the BB. Both checked the 
flop. The turn was the 
. Gibralter bet 60,000, and Yee called.
The river brought the 
and a bet of 125,000 from Gibralter. Yee paused just a few seconds, then announced he was all in and Gibralter instantly mucked. Yee showed 
for a wheel and six-high straight, and scooped the chips.
A boost for Yee there, now up to 675,000. Gibralter has just under 1.2 million, and Singontiko still leads with 2.4 million.
Singontiko Extends Lead, Yee and Gibralter Nearly Even
Since three-handed play started, the story has been Gibralter and Singontiko with the chip lead and them waiting until Yee pushes his short stack in. Now however, Yee and Gibralter are nearly even after Singontiko has taken down a few more pots and Yee has as well. The battle for which two will go heads-up just got a lot more interesting. Stay tuned.

Biggest Pot Of The Tournament...Oh Wait....Chop Again
Level 25
: 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
We had a huge pot just now and were one card away from a heads-up battle, but as is often the case with Omaha Hi-low Split-8 or Better, we ended up chopping the pot.
David SIngontiko raised it up to 90,000 from the button and Jeffrey Gibralter called.
The flop came down 
and Singontiko put out a 225,000 bet. Gibralter called and the two saw a 
turn. Gibralter almost knew his fate was sealed as he pushed all in and got an instant call from Singontiko.
Singontiko: 
Gibralter: 
Singontiko had a full house and anything but a low river card would mean heads-up play. The river however hit the 
and the two chopped the pot. Gibralter stays alive for now and it's still anyone's game
