Five players limped to see a flop come {Q-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, at which point it folded around to Daniel Negreanu in the cutoff who bet 4,500. All folded back to Minh Ly, sitting on Negreanu's right, who then announced he was raising the pot, and Negreanu quickly tossed away his hand.

Clements Loses Battle of Hastings

Level 7
Brian Hastings
Brian Hastings

Pot-Limit Omaha

A small PLO skirmish to report in which Brian Hastings and Scott Clements were the primary combatants.

Four limped to see a flop come {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and all four checked. The turn brought the {J-Clubs}. It checked to Hastings in early position who bet 3,700, and it folded back to Clements sitting on Hastings's right who called the bet.

The {A-Hearts} fell on fifth street. Clements checked, and Hastings took the opening to fire 11,500. Clements thought for a beat, then called. "Full house," said Hastings, showing {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and Clements mucked.

Ohel Heads South

Level 7

Pot-Limit Omaha

Rory Mathews opened for 2,500 from early position and received a call from Randy Ohel in middle position. Daniel Harmetz then three-bet to 11,700 from the button, the small blind folded and Cole South four-bet the size of the pot, making it an additional 29,200. Mathews quickly folded and then Ohel, who was short, thought for about a minute before calling off for 24,200.

Harmetz folded and Ohel was excited. "I'm getting a good price now," he exclaimed.

Ohel: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
South: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{q-Spades} flop pair Ohel's queen, but he needed some more help to overcome South's aces. The {9-Clubs} turn allowed him to do just that by giving him two pair, but the {4-Spades} river counterfeited him by giving South aces and fours. With that, Ohel exited the tournament area.
