Trivett Soars; Rocha Falls
Pot-Limit Omaha
Andreas Hoivold opened with a raise to 1,000 and Jose-Luis Velador flatted from the next seat over. Mike Leah called from the button, Michael Trivett came along from the small blind, and Alex Rocha also called from the big blind.
The five players saw a flop of 
fall and there were four checks over to Leah. He fired 3,600 only to have Trivett announce "pot", for a raise to 15,800. Rocha was next to act and moved all in over the top. Action folded back to Leah who folded as well. Trivett called all in for his own tournament life of 19,300.
Rocha: 
Trivett: 
The turn and river brought the 
and the 
to the felt, giving Trivett a winning Broadway straight with his queen-ten. Rocha shipped most of his chips across the table, leaving him with just about 2,500. He was eliminated from play soon after.
