June 27 2012
We've just had a major chip swing — and a sudden, surprising elimination — over on Table 427. Such is the way of PLO8.
Following a flop of 
, Alex Gomes and Charalampos Lappas managed to bet enough to put all of Gomes's chips in the middle and most of Lappas's. Gomes held 
for top two pair while Lappas had 
for aces and the nut low draw.
The turn brought a , and Gomes was still good as far the high hand went, and Lappas had yet to make a low. Then a fell on the river, pairing the board to give Lappas the best high hand and all of Gomes's stack.
Lee Watkinson opened for 10,000 only to have a short-stacked Phillip Myers move all in for 12,000. Adam Kornuth made the call from the small blind, Watkinson called the additional 2,000, and it was off to the 
flop.
Both Kornuth and Watkinson checked, and then the former bet 10,000 on the 
turn. Watkinson made the call and then slid out 28,000 after Kornuth checked the 
river. A call was made and Watkinson (
) and Kornuth (
) ended up chopping the pot as Myers simply mucked and took his leave.
Hieu Ma was just all in and at risk before the flop with 
against Timothy Finne's 
.
The community cards came 
, giving Finne a full house and sending Ma out.
After action folded around to Charalampos Lappas on the button and he raised to 10,000, Alex Gomes three-bet to 34,000 from the small blind. Barry Greenstein was in the big and called off for around 21,000, while Lappas called to see the 
flop.
Gomes immediately led out with a pot-sized bet, which forced Lappas out of the hand.
Showdown
Gomes: 
Greenstein: 
Gomes had flopped top set, but Greenstein had an open-ended straight draw and plenty of low outs. The 
turn completed both for Greenstein, while the 
on the river allowed him to scoop.
Despite losing that hand, Gomes managed to take down the small side pot and is still up from the last time we checked in on him.
Dario Alioto, owner of one bracelet won at 2007 WSOP Europe in a £5,000 PLO event, was just now all in with his tourney life at risk.
After two players limped and the small blind completed, Alioto reraised the pot for 20,000 from the big blind, then Nicholas Verkaik reraised the pot from one seat over prompting the others to fold, then Alioto to call with his remaining chips.
Alioto held and Verkaik 
. The board brought five face cards — 
— and Alioto's full house took the pot.
