Omaha Eight or Better

Jospeh Couden and Kevin Calenzo just clashed in the only Omaha Eight or Better hand that went past the flop. Calenzo raised from the button to 50,000 and Couden defended his big blind.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and both players checked. On the turn the {10-Hearts} hit and Couden check-called 50,000.

The river was the {4-Clubs} and now Couden lead out for 50,000. Calenzo called right away and got to see Couden's {2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Couden had rivered a wheel, the nut low and a five high straight. Calenzo mucked and was back to grinding the short stack.

An Uneventful Round of PLO

Pot Limit Omaha:

The pot-limit Omaha round just concluded and there was very little action. In fact, the only notable hand happened when David Baker raised to 35,000 from the cutoff and received a call from Joseph Couden in the small blind. Both players proceeded to check every street as the board ran out {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, and Couden rolled over {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

"Aces full of tens is good," Baker joked.

It's also worth noting that on the last hand of the round Baker opened for 35,000 under the gun only to have Greg Mueller make it 100K to go from the button. Baker inquired as to what the next game and limits would be, but made the call nonetheless. He then checked the {K-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop and folded to Mueller's pot-sized bet. Baker is down to 210,000.

Pat, Pat for Mueller

2-7 Triple Draw:

Action folded to Greg Mueller in the cutoff and he raised to 60,000. Donnacha O'Dea and Kevin Calenzo called from the button and small blind respectively, and the former drew one while the latter took two. After Mueller drew one himself, all three players checked.

Calenzo checked after drawing another two, prompting Mueller to stand pat and bet. O'Dea, who had drawn one, folded, while Calenzo made the call. From there, Mueller stood pat but checked after Calenzo drew one and checked.

Calenzo showed {2-}{2-}, so Mueller quickly revealed the winning {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

2-7 Triple Draw

David Baker just won a massive pot in 2-7 Triple Draw that got him right back in the game. He's currently in second place, but it's all still very close.

The action started with Greg Mueller raising it up to 60,000 from the cutoff and Donnacha O'Dea three-bet from the button to 90,000. Kevin Calenzo gave up his small blind after which Baker four-bet from the big blind to 120,000. Mueller folded and O'Dea called.

Baker stood pat right away and O'Dea drew two cards.

"You three-bet me and draw two?" Mueller said with a smile while Baker had already put in a 30,000 chip bet. O'Dea called.

Baker stood pat again, and O'Dea needed two cards again.

Baker fired out 60,000 right away and O'Dea pondered for a while before calling once more. Baker's action didn't change and he stood pat again. O'Dea needed one card.

On the last betting street Baker checked to the Irishman who looked at his cards and bet out 60,000.

"Raise," Baker announced who put in 120,000 with just 18,000 left behind. O'Dea shook his head, sighed and eventually folded his cards. Baker is out of trouble while O'Dea heads towards the bottom of the standings.
