Gerhart Among the Early Casualties on Day 1
Level 5
Pot-Limit Omaha
Yuval Bronshtein selected Pot-Limit Omaha "to give Kevin a chance" as Kevin Gerhart in the one seat was left with a fraction of the starting stack. One of the first hands in the new variant, Gerhart raised on the button and Adam Friedman came along. On the tail end of said hand, the board showed 7♠5♦4♦10♥5♠ and Friedman bet 3,000.
That was half of Gerhart's stack, who tank-called. Friedman tabled the J♣9♦6♣5♥ for trips fives and Gerhart mucked the 10♠4♠.
Only 3,000 chips remained for Gerhart, who succumbed to the severe short stack soon after.
