Awad Dropping Quickly, Under 100k

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Hani Awad raised from under the gun and he was called by William Shelton in the cutoff and Brendan Taylor in the big blind.

The flop was {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and all three players checked to see the {K-Hearts} on the turn. There, action checked to Awad who bet. Only Taylor called.

On the {3-Hearts} river, both players checked and Taylor showed down his {J-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and with his two pair he was able to scoop. That pot left Awad with under 100,000 and he sits in dangerous territory.
