From the small blind Yarron Bendor took a look at his cards.

Ron Ware
Ron Ware

Stud Hi-Lo

Ron Ware's stack had been steadily trending downwards all day, and he got his remaining chips in on third street in Stud Hi-Lo. He was called in two spots, by Felipe Ramos and Mikko Hirvonen.

Hirvonen bet on fourth street, but switched to check-calling from fifth street onwards.

Ron Ware: {x-}{x-}/{2-Spades}{a-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts}/{x-}
Mikko Hirvonen: {x-}{x-}/{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades}/{x-}
Felipe Ramos: {x-}{x-}/{3-Hearts}{q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}/{x-}

"Trips," said Ramos, "I was rolled up" showing {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Hirvonen showed {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} for two pair, while Ware announced "Sixes full of nothing," tabling {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

"I always run bad in this event," he said ironically as he headed to the exit.

Violette Puts Shack-Harris on Crumbs

Level 3 : 200/400, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Picking up action on the flop with a board of {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs} Brandon Shack-Harris was first to act from the big blind. He checked over to Cyndy Violette who was under the gun and she put out a bet of 550. Shack-Harris called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Shack-Harris decided to change it up and lead out with a bet of 800. This time, Violette just called.

On the {A-Clubs} river, Shack-Harris led again, betting 1,300. Violette thought for a bit, then eventually decided to just call.
