Erick Lindgren

Pot-Limit Omaha

From the cutoff Travis Erdman raised to 4,500 and Erick Lindgren called from the button. The flop came 9QJ and when Erdman checked to Lindgren he fired for 6,000.

Erdman folded and Lindgren laughed and showed 6x5x4x2x. "If you write that," I'll kill you," he joked.

Nguyen Doubles Through Wang

Scotty Nguyen

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Cards were on their back in an all-in hand between Scotty Nguyen and Yong Wang, with Nguyen the player at risk.

Scotty Nguyen: AA102
Yong Wang: KJ8Xx

Wang was ahead with a king-high straight on a board reading 9109Q, with Nguyen drawing very thin.

With one card to come, Nguyen would need to spike an ace or a nine to stay alive and to his surprise, and Wang's disappointment, the A hit the river, giving him the full house and the double-up and leaving Wang with less than starting stack left.

Diebold Saved by a Deuce

Level 13

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Kyle Montgomery raised 42,000 to put Benjamin Diebold all in, and he called.

Benjamin Diebold: A1042
Kyle Montgomery: AK82

The flop came out 637 and Montgomery was ahead with ace-king high and a 7x6x3x2xAx low.

The 8 gave Montgomery a pair of eights to move further out in front, but then a 2 river counterfeited Montgomery's low and gave Diebold a life-saving chop. "Found a deuce!" he said.

"Stop." said tablemate, Ryan Reiss, while Raymer scooped the pot.
