Three ways on a board of 6♣J♣Q♦5♥, Rafael Nogueira checked from the big blind and Chris Vitch checked from early position to Esther Taylor, who bet on the button. Both Nogueira and Vitch called.

The 9♣ filled the river and Nogueira led out for a bet. Vitch raised, which got two quick folds from Taylor and Noguiera to send Vitch the pot.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Tyler Brown opened to 11,000 from under the gun and found one caller in Benjamin Jackson on the button.

Both players checked on the 4♦6♥K♦ flop and then Jackson called a 27,000 bet from Brown on the 2♠ turn.

The 4♥ river paired the board and Brown checked. Jackson put 80,000 into the middle and Brown quickly sent his hand into the muck.

Big O

Dekel Balas opened to 12,000 from the hijack and just behind him, Phillip Hui shoved for his last 18,000 in the cutoff. Philip Muscarello then announced, "Pot," from the small blind, which got a fold from Balas to set up a showdown between Muscarello and Hui.

Phillip Hui: A♦5♦4♠4♣3♥ All in
Philip Muscarello: A♥K♠6♠6♣2♥

The Q♠J♥9♣J♦J♠ runout left Muscarello best with jacks-full of sixes and Hui was eliminated.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Bradley Jansen in the small blind and Ray Fishman in the big blind.

The flop rolled out 8♠9♠Q♦ and Jansen checked over to Fishman who bet and Jansen responded with a raise. Fishman raised once more and Jansen called.

Both players checked the 9♥ turn to the 4♣ river where Jansen check-called a bet from Fishman after some thought.

Fishman turned over A♥J♣10♥6♦ for a queen-high straight and raked in the pot.
