Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Bashar Trad raised to 140,000 first to act and was called by Derek Bugg on the button and Sterling Lopez in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Lopez checked to Trad, who continued for a pot-sized bet of 480,000 on the K♠8♦4♣ flop. Bugg called and Lopez folded.

The J♦ fell on the turn and Trad announced he was all in for 850,000 total — sending Bugg deep into the tank.

Bugg eventually called the clock on himself, which was ruled wasn't allowed, so a tablemate called the clock on him for him.

Before the count could end, Bugg laid his hand down and Trad was sent the large pot without a showdown.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Benny Glaser called in first position and on the button, Abdyl Konjuhi raised to 180,000. In the small blind, Tyler Brown three-bet to 620,000 and only Konjuhi called.

On the 3♥3♠J♠ flop, Brown continued for 460,000 and Konjuhi responded by raising to 1,200,000 which Brown called.

Brown moved all in on the Q♠ turn for 1,875,000 effective to see Konjuhi quickly fold his hand.

"Ace high flush was good," Konjuhi said. In response Brown showed A♥A♦ as he overtook the chip lead.

Big O

A couple hands after chopping up a chunk of Dennis Weiss' chips in a pot, Benny Glaser and Tyler Brown were clashing again, this time with Brown on the button and Glaser in the big blind.

Brown raised to 100,000 and Glaser defended his big blind to see a flop of 4♠9♥3♣.

Both players checked the flop to the turn 9♣ that saw Glaser lead out of 180,000. Brown raised up to 550,000 and Glaser pondered his decision for some time before tossing his hand into the muck.

Big O

Sean Remz called in first position and in the small blind, David Hunt raised to 160,000 which only Remz called.

The flop rolled out 10♥5♠6♣ and Hunt potted, with Remz quickly repotting it to put Hunt all in for 460,000 and Hunt called.

David Hunt: A♣K♣K♦8♣3♦ All in
Sean Remz: A♦10♦8♥2♦2♣

Remz improved over Hunt on the A♠8♠ runout to give himself aces and tens with a live-two, beating Hunt's aces and eights with a live three. Remz climbed to one of the biggest stacks in the tournament while Hunt was eliminated from the field.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Abdyl Konjuhi raised on the button and was three-bet by Bart Hanson in the small blind. It was folded back to Konjuhi, who called.

Konjuhi called a bet from Hanson on the 5♠6♠Q♣ flop and then raised a bet from Hanson on the 8♦ turn. Hanson went all in for a bit more and Konjuhi called to put Hanson at risk.

Bart Hanson: A♠8♠4♣2♦ All in
Abdyl Konjuhi: A♦9♦7♦3♠

Konjuhi held a straight, but Hanson held the low for a likely chop pot.

"Deuce ball, corner pocket!" Konjuhi shouted before the river.

Sure enough, the 2♥ fell on the river — leaving Konjuhi with the best low to eliminate Hanson in 20th place.

Dustin Dirksen raised to 90,000 in the cutoff and David Shmuel three-bet to 310,000 from the button. Federico Ottenio raised all in for 380,000 in the small blind and only Shmuel called to put him at risk.

Federico Ottenio: A♥A♣Q♥J♥7♣ All in
David Shmuel: A♦J♦10♦9♣2♦

The board ran out 9♦6♠Q♣8♥3♣ and Shmuel scooped with the nut-straight and nut-low. The WSOP bracelet winner raked in the pot while Ottenio was eliminated from the tournament.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Three ways on a flop of J♠2♠6♠, Benny Glaser checked from the big blind and Michael Lacer checked from early position to Abdyl Konjuhi, who bet 190,000. Glaser and Lacer both called.

It was again checked to Konjuhi on the 5♦ turn and he bet 750,000. Glaser folded and Lacer went all in for 830,000 total. Konjuhi called and a showdown was held.

Michael Lacer: A♣8♦4♦3♠ All in
Abdyl Konjuhi: A♥9♥3♥2♦

The K♥ completed the board and Lacer took the high with a six-high straight while the low was split, since both held ace-trey for the nut low.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Sterling Lopez raised from under the gun and Thomas Taylor three-bet in the cutoff which saw Derek Bugg call in the small blind and Lopez call behind him.

The flop rolled out 9♠8♥2♣ and Bugg checked over to Lopez who bet, getting calls from both Taylor and Bugg.

On the turn 7♠, Bugg checked a second time over to Lopez who bet and Taylor raised. Bugg called the raise and Lopez raised all in, getting calls from both players.

Taylor bet the river 9♦ and Bugg quickly tossed in a blue chip to call.

Sterling Lopez: J♠10♥3♠2♥ All in
Thomas Taylor: A♣K♠7♣3♣
Derek Bugg: A♦K♣4♠3♥

Taylor took three-quarters of the last bet from Bugg as they both shared the nut low (ace-trey) with Taylor having two pair to go with it, but they only got one quarter of the main pot each as Lopez' jack-high straight scooped the high.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Rep Porter raised to 75,000 in middle position and in the cutoff, Derek Bugg three-bet to 270,000, which Porter called.

The flop rolled out 7♦8♦8♥ and Porter check-called a jam worth 110,000 to put himself at risk.

Rep Porter: A♣Q♣5♥2♠ All in
Derek Bugg: A♥A♠K♦10♦

Bugg was ahead with aces-up. Porter needed to complete a low to chop, but no help came on the 9♥K♥ runout and the WSOP bracelet winner was eliminated from the tournament.
