Big O

Daniel Negreanu and Ryutaro Suzuki were heads-up on a flop of 8♠3♥Q♣ when Suzuki bet 7,000 from under the gun. Negreanu called in the big blind.

The turn was the 3♠ and Suzuki bet 15,000. Negreanu then raised enough to put Suuzki all in, and Suuzki called for an additional 30,000.

Suzuki had A♦10♣7♦6♠2♣, while Negreanu was ahead with A♣K♥K♦9♠4♦. Suzuki was looking to hit either an ace or a low, but he missed the 9♥ river and Negreanu scored the knockout.

Justin Liberto was also recently eliminated at this table.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

David Funkhouser potted the hijack to 5,500 and Alex Livingston called on the button.

The Q♥8♥4♥ flop checked through to the J♣ turn which saw Funkhouser pot for 15,000 and Livingston called.

On the 4♣, Funkhouser potted for 45,000 with just a couple chips back, Livingston raised, and Funkhouser called off. Livingston tabled J♠J♦10♦10♣ for a full house which was good for the knockout as Funkhouser mucked.
