Level 11 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

With 32,000 invested so far by Mike Noori to the river, he faced another bet by Eric Rodawig who had very few chips behind in a battle of the shorter stacks.

Noori went into the tank for nearly six minutes and nobody called the clock. Nick Guagenti jokingly teased tossing in chips for the next blind when Noori finally folded.

"Please show a bluff," Guagenti said, and Rodawig flashed the before scooping the pot.

"That's not a bluff," Noori insisted.

Guagenti followed that up with, "this gotta be a new world record for a tank in a HORSE tournament" to which Hansu Chu smiled and nodded in agreement.

When all was said and done, Noori was left with very few chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Andres Korn	360,000 102,000	102,000

Eric Rodawig	90,000 15,000	15,000
