Level 16 : Limits 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Maksim Pisarenko raised from under the gun and small blind Ari Engel made the call. Nghia Le checked his cards in the big blind and Engel then claimed he saw at least one of them.

"Oh well, let's gamble," Le assessed the situation.

The flop then came A♣Q♥J♠ and the action checked to Pisarenko, who led out with a bet. Engel folded and Le called, but the latter would check-fold to another bet on the 3♥ turn as well, shipping the pot to Pisarenko.

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Dominick Sarle moved all in from middle position which saw both the small blind and Nick Pupillo call in the big blind.

The flop came out 6♥5♣4♣ which saw the small blind check over to Pupillo who bet and the small blind folded. "That's not my flop," lamented Sarle.

Dominick Sarle: A♠K♠Q♦10♥
Nick Pupillo: 7♦6♦5♦3♥

The board ran out 6♣2♥ and Pupillo scooped the high with a full house while having a six-low which Sarle had none of and the bracelet winner exited the tournament.

Vasu Amarapu kicked off preflop action by raising from middle position. Itsuko Yuroi called from the hijack, as did Micah Brooks from the cutoff. David Levi, the big blind, also came along.

The 10♣K♥7♦ flop saw action checked to Brooks. He bet, with only Yoroi calling. Yoroi also check-called a bet from Brooks on the 4♦ turn.

The A♦ river brought no further bets. Yoroi turned over A♠10♠5♦3♣ for aces and tens with a seven-five low to scoop the pot as Brooks mucked.

David Bach: 6♥3♥/4♦10♠7♣9♥/6♣
Kevin Mcintosh: XxXx/4♣K♠4♠ - folded fifth street
Eddie Blumenthal: 7♦3♦/A♠J♠J♣Q♣/2♣
Paul Zapulla: A♦Q♦/10♦A♣9♦Q♥/8♥

On third street, enough bets went in that David Bach was all-in and a 4,500 side pot was created between the three other players. Eddie Blumenthal then checked on fourth street and Kevin Mcintosh also went all-in for 1,000 more. All players called before Blumenthal bet his jacks showing on fifth street and Mcintosh folded.

The three players then showed down and Zapulla was in the lead with his pair of aces, while Bach was chasing a low. By seventh street, neither Bach or Blumenthal improved their hands and Zapulla scooped the entire pot with two pair, aces and queens, resulting in the elimination of Bach.
