Robert Mizrachi: XxXx/4♥ - folded third street
Ben Lamb: A♥2♣/8♦Q♦Q♠J♠/7♥
Michael Martinelli: 6♥3♦/8♠A♣4♣5♣/A♦

Robert Mizrachi brought it in with a four showing, after which Ben Lamb completed with an eight. Michael Martinelli called with the same rank as Lamb before Mizrachi got out of the way.

Lamb then bet on fourth street before the rest of his chips flew in on fifth street. His pair of queens was up against the made low of Martinelli.

Sixth street gave Martinelli more outs for the scoop, and he hit one on seventh street as the ace gave him the highest pair.

Lamb headed to the exit as the remaining three players went on break.

Level 22

Pot-Limit Omaha

"Ben, if it folds to us I'm putting you all in. I don't care if you limp. If you pot, I'll repot," Michael Martinelli said to Ben Lamb before the hand.

Ryutaro Suzuki ruined those plans when he raised to 60,000 on the button. Lamb folded the small blind, while Martinelli called in the big blind.

The flop came 3♦8♦A♠ and Suzuki bet another 60,000. Martinelli called.

Both players checked down the 4♠ turn and 7♥ river and Martinelli showed A♦10♦6♥5♠ for a pair of a aces to win the pot.

Level 22

Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Ryutaro Suzuki raised under the gun and called Ben Lamb's three-bet from the button. Suzuki then check-called a bet from Lamb on the 3♠8♣4♣ flop before the 6♠ turn was checked by both.

Suzuki tossed out a bet on the 2♦ river, sending Lamb into the tank for a bit. Eventually, the two-time bracelet winner made the call, after which Suzuki announced he had the nuts on both ends.

His A♦7♠5♦5♣ was indeed the wheel for the low and the nut straight for the high. Lamb's cards hit the muck as he was left with less than three big bets.

Michael Martinelli raised on the button, Robert Mizrachi reraised, and Martinelli put in another raise. Mizrachi called and both players took one.

The first draw was checked through and they both drew one more on the second draw. Both players checked again and took one.

Mizrachi then led out with a bet and Martinelli raised. Mizrachi folded and Martinelli showed a pair of eights as he took the pot.

Level 22

Stud Hi-Lo Regular

Robert Mizrachi: XxXx/10♥ - folded third street
David Bach: 8♥6♣/5♥Q♦7♥6♦/K♥ All in
Michael Martinelli: A♣7♣/8♠10♦9♦10♠/4♠

Robert Mizrachi brought in with a ten and David Bach completed with a five. Michael Martinelli then raised with an eight up and Bach made the call.

Bach called a bet from Martinelli on fourth street and committed the rest of his chips on fifth street.

Bach had an open-ended straight draw and a queen-low while Martinelli had a higher straight draw and a ten-low. Both players paired on sixth street, but Martinelli's higher pair reigned supreme when seventh street did not improve either player.

Bach exited in fifth place as his quest for a fourth bracelet came to an early end.
