Big O

Nitesh Rawtani raised to 56,000 from the cutoff and action folded around to Sebastian Pauli in the big blind who called.

The flop rolled out 2♣10♠8♦ and Pauli checked over to Rawtani who moved all in for 88,000.

"I think I have a bit too much to fold," said Pauli.

"Those are the last words said by a man who doubled up his opponent," Rawtani responded.

Nitesh Rawtani: A♥J♣8♣7♥3♦ All in
Sebastian Pauli: K♦6♠5♦4♣3♠

The runout of 9♦6♦ left Rawtani with the nut-low and a jack-high straight to fulfill the words he said and double through Pauli.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Craig Hartman raised from middle position to 25,000 before Joey Couden three-bet to 93,000 in the cutoff. After it folded back to Hartman, he made the call.

The flop came 7♠2♣8♥ and Hartman bet 10,000 to put Couden all in, and he quickly called.

Joey Couden: A♥A♣9♠2♠ All in
Craig Hartman: Q♠J♦10♦8♣

Couden was ahead with his aces but when the turn came the 10♥ it improved Hartman to two pair. But the river being the 7♣ it gave Couden a better two pair with aces and sevens to secure the double up.

At the same table a few hands later, Noah Boeken was eliminated from the tournament.
