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.

Wattel Busts Hanson

Mickey Doft

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.
