Razz

Roman Yitzhaki: 5x5x3x / AxAx4x9x
Dan Cates: XxXx / 5xQx6x8x / Xx

Dan Cates bet fourth street against Roman Yitzhaki when the latter paired his ace and Yitzhaki called. Cates bet again fifth street for Yitzhaki to raise and Cates called. On sixth street, Cates check-called and they checked seventh. Yitzhaki showed a nine-five and that was good enough to win the pot.

Pot-Limit Omaha

The rotation switched to PLO and Cates was in the big blind. Marco Johnson raised to 8,000 from under the gun and Cates tossed in his last 8,500 for Johnson to call.

Dan Cates: K♠9♣5♦4♥ All in
Marco Johnson: A♦A♣9♠3♠

The K♦10♥4♣ flop gave Cates two pair, but they were counterfeited with the 10♠ turn. The 3♦ river then sent the two-time Poker Players Championship winner to the rail.
