Jeff Madsen
Jeff Madsen

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Elizabeth Ethridge limped first to act and Dustin Ethridge called in the small blind. Jeff Madsen checked his option in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Ethridge checked to Madsen, who bet 4,500 on the J4A flop. (Elizabeth) Ethridge folded and (Dustin) Ethridge called.

Ethridge check-called an 11,500 bet from Madsen on the 7 turn and checked a final time on the 6 river.

Madsen bet pot and Ethridge quickly called.

Madsen turned over 8432 for a low and a pair and Ethridge held Q832 for the same low without a pair to be quartered.

Verbakel Leaves Rudd On Fumes

Level 16

Big O

Action was picked up on the flop in a three-bet pot between Ralph Rudd in the big blind and Bjorn Verbakel in the hijack.

The flop rolled out J7K and Rudd bet 30,000, prompting Verbakel to move all in for 120,000 and Rudd called.

Bjorn Verbakel: AJJ52 All in
Ralph Rudd: AA872

The board ran out 94 and the set of jacks was good for Verbakel to double at the expense of Rudd, leaving him with just 6,000 after the hand.

He was eliminated shortly after.

Kaigorodtcev Finds a Much-Needed Double

Level 16

Omaha Hi-Lo

Jonathan Ingalls limped from middle position and Andrei Kaigorodtcev called in the small blind. Max Pescatori checked his option in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Kaigorodtcev bet on the J33 flop, which got a fold from Pestacori and a raise from Ingalls to put Kaigorodtcev all in. Kaigorodtcev called and hands were revealed.

Andrei Kaigorodtcev: K843All in
Jonathan Ingalls: AQ88

Kaigorodtcev was well ahead with his trip threes and the J4 runout needlessly improved him to a full house for the double up.

Prociak Takes From Fishman

Level 16

Omaha Hi-Lo

Action was picked up on the river in a pot between David Prociak in middle position and Ray Fishman in the hijack.

The board read 10K282 and each player had three bets in front of them, with Prociak putting a fourth out into the middle.

"This is a sick joke," lamented Fishman as he quickly tossed in the call.

Prociak tabled A542 for three twos and Fishman shook his head, showing AK93 for a pair of kings with both missed low and flush draws. Prociak took in the pot while Fishman sat back in his chair, shaking his head.
