Elior Sion: XxXx/10x9x6x5x
James Obst: XxXx/Qx3xAxKx - folded sixth street
Jen Harman: XxXx/6x6x9x - folded fifth street

After James Obst brought it in, Elior Sion limped in with a 10x up and then Jen Harman completed. Both opponents called and the trio went to fourth street.

Sion and Harman checked to Obst who bet, with both players again calling. Still three-handed on fifth street, action again checked to Obst who bet, but this time only Sion called.

On sixth street, Sion improved again and now he bet as Obst picked up a Kx. Obst folded and the pot was pushed to Sion.

Level 7

Razz

Joe Cassidy: XxXx / Qx4xQx8x / Xx
David Williams: 4x3x / Ax8x8x6x / 9x

Picking up the action on sixth street, David Williams bet with an open pair of eights and was called by Joe Cassidy. When seventh street was dealt, the cards were accidentally flipped over for both as Williams received the 3♦ and Cassidy the J♥.

The floor was called and both open cards on seventh were shuffled back into the remaining deck. Williams then bet and Cassidy tank-folded. "I already had it," Williams mentioned and exposed the 3x4x in the hole and new 9x on seventh.

In the meanwhile, Alexander Wilkinson has been eliminated from one table over.

Level 7

Omaha Hi-Lo

Dylan Linde opened under the gun to 12,000 on the first hand of the day. Julien Martini called on the button and Dario Sammartino defended his big blind.

The 4♥5♠8♦ flop hit and Linde bet. Martini called and Sammartino got out of the way. The 10♣ turn hit the felt and Linde bet again. Martini called and the 8♠ hit the river.

Once more, Linde put out the final bet and although he didn't look excited about it, Martini called. Linde tabled A♦2♦J♣7♠ for the nut low and ace-jack high. Martini tabled A♠3♣9♠2♣ for the nut low and ace-nine high. Martini would only get a quarter and Linde would find value in betting three streets.

Level 7

Omaha Hi-Lo

Picking action up on the turn in a three-way pot with the board reading A♠10♠2♣5♦, Scott Seiver checked in the big blind to Eric Wasserson who also checked, before Marco Johnson bet in the cutoff.

Both opponents called and the 5♠ paired the board on the river. Action got checked through to Johnson again, who now checked back.

"Full house," declared Wasserson, showing A♦K♦Q♠5♣ for fives full of aces. His opponents checked their cards for some form of low to chop the pot, but neither could and the entire pot was shipped to Wasserson.

Level 7

Omaha Hi-Lo

With 36,000 each in the middle to the 10♦8♣2♣J♦7♣ river, Dan Smith bet and was called by Paul Volpe who openly guessed the cards of Smith to be aces with a trey for the nut low. "Close enough," Smith responded and tabled the A♥A♦K♥3♣.

Volpe chopped with the A♠10♠6♦2♥ for two pair.

At the same time, three-way action led to the A♠K♣7♥Q♥6♥ river on which Viktor Blom checked. Scott Bohlman bet and Chris Brewer called on the button while Blom folded. Bohlman tabled the A♥8♥7♦3♠ for the nut flush and a low but Brewer had the superior low with A♣Q♣4♦2♦.

Alexander Wilkinson three-bet preflop to get called by Talal Shakerchi and his bet on the A♠Q♦4♥ flop was also called by Shakerchi. Wilkinson also bet the 5♥ turn for Shakerchi to raise, picking up a call by Wilkinson.
