Schwartz Folds to Monnette

Pot-Limit Omaha

Luke Schwartz was just put in a very tough spot against John Monnette on the final hand before their table broke. The flop read {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{5-Spades} and Schwartz bet 32,000. Monnette put out a big raise to 175,000 and Schwartz went into the tank.

While leaning back in his chair Schwartz thought about it for several minutes, and ended up offering Monnette $300 to see his hand. Schwartz later lowered that offer to $200, but when the floor came over he ruled against this.

"You cannot even give him money, a rose or even an orange," the floor said to Schwartz who finally had the clock called on him. Schwartz folded his cards and Monnette turned over his {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, for free. Schwartz said something along the lines that he had a similar hand, as Monnette added some more chips to his stack.

Big Flop for Fuhs

Omaha-8

Danny Fuhs raised from under the gun and found only one caller, who was Keith Gipson acting out of the small blind. The flop came down {10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Gipson checked. Fuhs bet and Gipson called.

On the {9-Spades} turn, Gipson checked and Fuhs bet. Gipson gave it up after a few seconds and Fuhs won the pot. He showed {A-}{4-}{3-}{3-} for a set of threes and an ace-four low draw.
