: 300/600, 0 ante
Omaha-8
Scotty Nguyen opened the action for a raise, and he was called by the next player to act, as well as the small blind. The flop came down 
, and Nguyen led out again. Both players came along, and the fireworks started when the 
hit the turn. Scott bet out when the small blind checked, and the other opponent put in a raise. The small blind then three bet it, and both Nguyen and the original raiser called.
The river brought the 
, and the small blind checked for a third time. Nguyen fired out, and only got a call from the middle position player. Nguyen showed

What are the Odds?!
Level 6
: 300/600, 0 ante
Seasoned Los Angeles poker pro Bart Hanson got our attention about a hand that was unlike any he had ever seen. He didn't know the up cards, but according to him and the table, the action was check raise called on six street, and on seventh street, the betting was capped. One player showed 
, which was good enough for the nut low and a six high straight. However, he would only collect a quarter of the pot, as his opponent improbably had !! You would think hand came from the pai gow tables, but sure enough, it was here in the Omaha/Stud 8-or-better event!
Ivey Battling Back
Level 6
: 300/600, 0 ante
Phil Ivey was down to his last 2,100 earlier in the level, but he has since battled back, and has worked it back to 6,000. In the first hand, Ivey got three quarters in an omaha hand where his flush scooped the high, and he chopped the low. Later on in the omaha-8 section, he once again got in a big hand, but this time, he scooped it. All the money got in on the turn, with the board showing 
. Ivey held 
for two pair, and the dealer put the 
on the river. Ivey's opponent mucked his hand, unable to beat the bottom two pair, and that got the greatest player in the world some much needed chips.

Well no more then ten minutes after we posted that Phil Ivey was coming back, he was eliminated just before the break. All the money got in on fifth street, and at showdown, Opponent 2 showed 
for kings up, and Ivey couldn't beat it. Ivey will have to wait until tomorrow to try and get his first cash of the series.
