Kelly Takes from Shack-Harris

Level 2

Omaha Hi-Lo

Fresh off chopping a pot with Robert Campbell, Matthew Kelly called out of the small blind when facing a button raise by Jan Suchanek and Matt Grapenthien also came along in the big blind to head three-ways to the {Q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop. Action checked to Suchanek and he bet, which just Grapenthien called. On the {10-Clubs} turn, Grapenthien checked and folded to a second bet of Suchanek.

One hand later, Brandon Shack-Harris raised and Kelly called on the button, as did Grapenthien in the big blind. The flop fell {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{2-Spades} and action checked to Kelly, who bet. Grapenthien called and Shack-Harris raised, prompting three bets from Kelly. This time, Grapenthien folded and Shack-Harris called.

The {K-Spades} on the turn paired the board and Shack-Harris checked before folding to a bet of Kelly.

Suchanek Chops with Shack-Harris

Level 2
Brandon Shack-Harris
Brandon Shack-Harris

Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo

Jan Suchanek: {X-} {X-} / {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} / {X-}
Brandon Shack-Harris: {X-} {X-} / {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs} / {X-}

Picking up the action on fourth street, Brandon Shack-Harris bet and Jan Suchanek called before doing so again on fifth street and sixth street. Both then elected to check seventh and Shack-Harris rolled over the {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a low and a pair of deuces. Suchanek revealed {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a pair of nines and took the high pot.

Suchanek is third on New Zealand's all-time money list and a mixed-game aficionado, who can be seen regularly seen during the Aussie Millions at the start of the year and in Las Vegas during the WSOP.

The early chip leader on the very same table appears to be Robert Campbell.
