Wattel Busts Hanson

Omaha-8

A short-stacked John Hanson committed the remainder of his stack with {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} on a {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} board, but was trailing the {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} of Mike Wattel who had flopped two pair with a 7-5 low.

The {2-Clubs} turn gave Wattel a wheel and the {3-Clubs} river officially gave him the pot, eliminating Hanson in the process.

No-Limit Hold'em

Barry Greenstein raised all in from the hijack for his final 22,700, and Viktor Blom called in the cutoff. David Baker was in the big blind, and he decided to move all in for 108,900. Blom called once again putting two players at risk of elimination.

Greenstein showed {A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and he was dominated by Blom's {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}. Baker was the one out in front though, as he showed {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}.

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, and Baker took down the entire pot. Baker more than doubled up, Greenstein is out while Blom is still in good shape.
