No Value for Vengrin

Level 19

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Adam Friedman raised to 25,000 on the button and Matthew Vengrin defended his big blind to see the J45 flop.

Vengrin checked and made the call after Friedman continued for 25,000. Both players then checked the Q turn, with action repeating on the 7 river.

"Top set," Vengrin told his opponent while turning over AQQ10. That was good to claim the pot, as Friedman took one last look at his cards before sending them to the muck.

Stud Hi-Lo Regular

Brandon Cantu: 886 / 8A10J
Dario Alioto: AK3 / A35K

Action was heads-up to fifth street, where Brandon Cantu led out with a bet and Dario Alioto called. Cantu then checked sixth street, calling after Alioto bet.

Cantu checked again on seventh street, making the call when Alioto slid out one last bet.

"I think I get it all," said Cantu as the hands were tabled. Cantu's set of eights were good for the high, while Alioto could not beat his jack-low as he saw the entire pot shipped to his left.
