Omaha Hi-Lo

Vangelis Kaimakamis raised from the cutoff and got called by Mark Dickstein in the big blind leading to a Q♥J♦9♦ flop.

Dickstein started by checking to Kaimakamis who tossed in a bet. Dickstein quickly check-raised and Kaimakamis tossed in a call, sending both players to the 6♦ turn card.

Action checked through and the dealer put the 2♥ out on the river.

Dickstein checked and Kaimakamis bet. Dickstein quickly called and tabled the J♣J♠10♣9♥ which was good enough to scoop the pot versus Kaimakamis' A♣10♦4♠2♦.

Big O

Philip Sternheimer and Kyle Merron both put in around 50,000 heading to the river on a board of 3♠9♦A♠K♦3♥. Sternheimer then assembled a tower of yellow 1,000 chips and pushed it in the middle, a bet of 60,000.

Merron tanked for about a minute before he called. Sternheimer turned over K♣J♦4♥3♦2♣ for a full house and Merron mucked the big pot.

After the hand, Sternheimer checked to see who was left in the field. "We all pick players at the end of Day 1," ticking off the names on his fantasy team.

"Who picked me," tablemate Yuval Bronshtein asked.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Leonid Yanovski got involved in a pot just as the tournament clock reached dinner break. "I'll come back with my stack at the final table," Yanovski said, sitting behind the massive towers he has assembled.

Yanovski and Heiko Hinkelmann went to the river on a board of 5♦9♥2♠2♥3♣ when Hinkelmann bet, Yanovski raised on the button, and Hinkelmann reraised.

Yanovski then raised enough to put Hinkelmann all in, and Hinkelmann committed his last chips. Yanovski turned over A♦K♦6♣4♥ for a straight and a low, while Hinkelmann had A♣K♣Q♠4♦ for the same low as Yanovski took three-quarters.
