Omaha-8

Alexandre Luneau raised from early position, Allen Bari called in the cutoff, and the flop fell {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Luneau led out, and Bari called.

Luneau proceeded to lead out on the turn ({6-Spades}), and the river ({8-Hearts}), and Bari called both bets.

Luneau tabled {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}, Bari fanned {a-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, and the two chopped the pot.

No-Limit Hold'em

Scott Seiver opened in late position, Tom Dwan re-raised from the big blind, and Seiver called. The flop fell {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, and Dwan checked to Seiver who bet 27,000. Dwan tanked, then check-raised to 63,000. Seiver went deep into the tank, staring down Dwan for nearly two minutes before moving all in. Dwan snapped it off.

Seiver: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Dwan: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Dwan was in bad shape, but the {10-Clubs} on the turn gave him four extra outs to a straight. The {7-Spades} bricked on the river however, and Dwan was sent packing.
