Christian Zetzsche

Level 2

Omaha Hi-Lo

Gus Hansen raised in the cutoff and Matthew Ashton defended in the big blind. Ashton check-called a first bet on the A♦Q♥3♠ flop and then checked again the K♣ on the turn. Hansen bet again and that was enough to win the pot without showdown.

Upon completion of the hand, Johannes Becker took a seat on that table and the field is now up to 37 entries.
