Vincent van der Fluit, winner of the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha, has just busted another player. He grabbed the chip lead, and is cruising along in this event.
Van der Fluit told us he raised under the gun to 1,000 in No-Limit Hold'em, and a short stack pushed for his final 5,100. Van der Fluit told us this player had just folded in a big pot, and because of that he was more inclined to make the call.
Van der Fluit's opponent tabled 
and the Dutchman was ahead with 
. The flop brought out 
, but the turn and river bricked giving Van der Fluit some more chips to work with.

We caught the action on a 
board when Mike Matusow checked to Chris Tryba who bet 1,775. Matusow played with his chips for a while before announcing he was all in. The raise was for about 10,000 extra chips, and Tryba almost called intantly.

Matusow was in superb shape, and he doubled up when the 
hit the river. Matusow seemed flustered by what just happened, but he happily stacked his new chips.

Rikard Aberg has been in poker media for a very long time, and this event is his chance at world-wide poker glory. Aberg managed to survive Day 1 with 16,800 chips, and after a few orbits he managed to chip up just a little. We caught two hands he was involved in during Omaha-8.
Joe Keuther raised it up, Aberg called from the small blind and Raymond Davis three-bet from the big blind. Both Keuther and Aberg called giving of three-way action on the flop.
The flop came down 
, Aberg checked, Davis bet and both his opponents called. On the turn the 
hit and again Davis was the one betting, Keuther and Aberg called. The river was the and the same process was repeated once more.
Keuther turned over 
for the nut low, Aberg showed 
for a full house and Davis tabled his 
. We missed the suit of Davis' ace, but his hand was no good. The pot was split between Aberg and Keuther, and Davis was left very unhappy.
"Make sure you write that down correctly, he just called three-bets pre flop with queen-queen-six-deuce," Davis said.
"I don't know what I'm doing," Aberg said smiling sarcastically.
"I figured that's how you got your chips," Davis added, who wasn't happy with the way this hand played out.
On the very next hand Rep Porter raised, Aberg called on the button and Hasan Habib moved all in from the big blind. Porter and Aberg both called.
The flop came down 
, Porter bet and Aberg called. The turn was the and Porter bet, Aberg called. On the river the 
hit and Porter bet again. Aberg didn't seem too happy but called. Porter showed 
and took down the whole pot, Habib mucked and went straight to the $25,000 One Drop satellite.
