Zhu Hanging in There

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Yueqi Zhu was in the big blind, calling a raise from James Van Alstyne.

Zhu led out on the {7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop, Van Alstyne called and the rest of Zhu's chips went in on the {k-Diamonds} turn. Van Alstyne called but Zhu held {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts} and he prevailed against {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} as the river didn't hit any of Van Alstyne's draws.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Ivo Donev raised in the small blind, Alan Sternberg reraised on his left, and Donev called.

Donev called bets from Sternberg on the flop, turn and the river of the {2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} board, but Sternberg had him beat with {a-Spades}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Donev showed he had {a-}{3-}{8-}{q-} for a missed nut low draw and a flopped pair, but Sternberg got there on the river.

Alan Sternberg: {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Shane Howeth: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Christopher Carey Eliminated in 14th Place ($9,440); Noah Bronstein Eliminated in 13th Place ($9,440)

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Christopher Carey
Christopher Carey

Omaha Hi-Lo

Ivo Donev (hijack) and Christopher Carey (button) had both been dealt aces and they capped it preflop.

They continued in raising after the {7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} to put Carey all in.

Carey: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Donev: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

The {5-Spades} turn gave Carey a better low draw but the {3-Hearts} river was a lethal card, giving Donev a flush and a low while Carey finished what he'd started with.

Seconds after that, Noah Bronstein was eliminated by Iori Yogo from the other table.
