Klodnicki tabled {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for three kings and Evans showed {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a higher three of a kind in his aces. Klodnicki asked "Were you rolled up?" and Evans just nodded his head as he scooped in the pot.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Philip Long raised under the gun, John Evans called from the small blind and Long's remaining 40,000 went in on the {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. He was significantly ahead with {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} versus {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}, but the {6-Hearts} turn gave Evans some hopes for a chop.

More importantly, a deadly {4-Spades} landed on the river to give Evans trips along with the nut low and, just like that, the defending champion was eliminated in fourth.
