Omaha Hi-Lo

The cards were already on their backs soon after the final five tables were reached with Josh Arieh at risk holding the Q♠J♠10♦7♦. He was up against the A♥A♣7♣2♦ of Kane Kalas and the 10♣4♠2♥ flop gave Arieh a pair.

With the K♦ turn, he picked up some more straight outs but the 3♠ river ended his tournament, as he quickly gathered the belongings and headed out of the tournament area.

Rotholz stood pat and Monnette drew one. Monnette then bet again and Rotholz called.

Monnette showed 7x6x5x4x2x. "What a triple draw heater," Rotholz said as he mucked a nine, surrendering the pot to Monnette.

No-Limit Hold'em

There was a casualty on the live stream table as Dylan Linde, who was last seen with two thirds of a starting stack, was no longer to be found. Michael Noori ran out of chips on the outer tables and that reduced the field to the last 36 hopefuls on six tables.

Viktor Blom opened to 18,000 in the hijack and was called by Stephen Chidwick on the button as well as Joao Vieira in the big blind. Following the Q♠9♦7♠ flop, Vieira and Blom checked. Chidwick bet 18,000 but folded when Vieira check-raised to 63,000 with Blom also getting out of the way.

Chidwick then raised to 17,000 one hand later and folded when John Racener three-bet jammed his short stack in the next seat.

2-7 Triple Draw

The PokerGO YouTube live stream table features none other than Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu with the latter having chipped up again since the start of the level. In the latest hand, Negreanu came out on top of a three-way Triple Draw hand without showdown when he was in the hijack, facing off with John David Rogers in the cutoff and Jared Bleznick on the button.

They discarded two, two and one to check to the next draw, on which the discarding repeated. Negreanu and Rogers checked to Bleznick, who bet. Negreanu then check-raised and forced two folds.
