Violette Can't Believe Her Luck
Omaha Hi-Lo
We picked up the action with Cyndy Violette already all in with about 30,000 in the pot on a flop of 
. After the dealer burned and turned the 
, Jim McCrink bet from the under-the-gun position and then called when Dan Kelly raised him. McCrink then check-called a bet on the 
river and Violette stood and grabbed her things in anticipation of her exit.
Kelly then tabled the 
for aces and tens with the nut low, while McCrink rolled over the 
for the same low. That meant Kelly got three-quarters of the side pot. Violette then sat back down in her chair and showed the 
for a set of fours, which was good for half the high while her two male opponents chopped the low.
"Wow. I thought I was dead for sure," Violette said in regards to the third diamond on the river.
Meanwhile, both Andy Bloch and Justin "Boosted J" Smith have been eliminated from the tournament.
