Level 14

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Cary Katz got his final 36,000 chips in the middle preflop from the hijack and was looked up by Dylan Linde on the button.

Cary Katz: A♣8♥4♦4♣
Dylan Linde: A♥K♠3♠2♣

The 7♠7♥2♠ flop gave Linde a flush draw and the better low draw, but Katz pair of fours miraculously remained best on the Q♦9♥ runout, awarding him the full pot.

Anthony Zinno bet on fifth street after making a pair of aces and Ben Lamb called.

Chaotic Badeucey Hand Goes to Martinelli

Level 14

Badeucey

Michael Martinelli and Jon Turner were in the blinds but accidentally halved the required amounts without anyone noticing. Brian Brunner then wanted to raise, but did so without a verbal declaration.

The table then noticed the wrong blind and asked the floor for a ruling. Brunner's action stood as a call and the hand continued.

Erick Lindgren also limped on the button and Michael Martinelli completed his small blind. To add to the confusion, Jon Turner tossed his five cards in the muck, again without a verbal declaration.

The floor person was called back and it was ruled that Turner's action would be to draw five cards. Martinelli then drew three cards before Brunner and Lindgren each took two.

After the first draw, the action checked to Lindgren, who pushed out a bet. Marinelli raised, which forced out Turner and Brunner. Lindgren stuck around with a call, however.

On the second draw, Martinelli exchanged one card while Lindgren still needed two. Another bet followed from Martinelli, which received a quick fold from his opponent as he was shipped the pot.

Erick Lindgren	315,000 48,000	48,000

Michael Martinelli	237,000 97,000	97,000

Level 14

Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better

Patrick Leonard was already all in from the big blind as Maxx Coleman and George Alexander saw a flop of J♣10♣2♥. Alexander then bet 37,000 and Coleman called all in.

Patrick Leonard: A♠6♠6♥4♦ All in
Maxx Coleman: A♣4♣3♦2♦ All in
George Alexander: K♥7♥3♣2♣

"Oh wow, I'm in bad shape," Alexander said upon seeing Coleman's nut flush draw. The turn was the A♥, while the J♥ on the river gave Alexander a flush and sent both opponents to the rail.

Greg Mueller was also recently eliminated.

Level 14

Pot-Limit Omaha

Arriving on a flop of Q♣4♥2♠ in a limped pot, Jon Turner checked out of the small blind to Phil Ivey in the big blind, who made a bet of 15,000. Erick Lindgren was also in the hand and made the call from the button before Turner came along as well.

On the 8♥ turn, the action was checked to Lindgren as he piled in 65,000 chips. Turner put in a call for half his stack before Ivey got out of the way.

Turner checked once more and Lindgren put him all in for his remaining 65,000 chips. Turner quickly folded, showing his 6x5x3x with visible frustration.

Player	Chips	Progress
Erick Lindgren	363,000 23,000	23,000

Phil Ivey	195,000 5,000	5,000
