Kevin Choi: XxXx/6♣J♦8♥7♦/Xx
Jason Daly: XxXx/2♣2♠Q♣7♣/Xx - folded seventh street

Jason Daly bet on fourth street and Kevin Choi called. Daly then checked on fifth street and Choi bet. Daly called, and the same action took place on sixth street. Daly checked once more on seventh street and Choi bet, leading Daly to flick his cards and mutter about missing a flush before mucking his cards.

It was a much-needed pot for Choi after a big pot against Daly that saw Daly making a full house on seventh street to win it all.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Jason Daly raised under the gun. Jon Kyte called on the button, and Tobias Hausen defended his big blind. After Hausen checked, Daly fired a bet on the 5♦6♣5♥ flop, and saw both opponents call.

Hausen checked the K♥ turn to Daly again, who bet. Kyte then raised all in for 520,000, folding out Hausen. Daly made a quick call, and the cards were tabled.

Jon Kyte: A♦K♠Q♠8♠ All in
Jason Daly: A♥K♣2♠2♥

Both players played ace-king, but Daly had a flush draw and a low draw as well. The 10♥ river brought in the former, eliminating last year's runner-up in fifth place.

"Full house!" Hellmuth cheered as he showed 8♠6♠4♥4♣.

"....And I have a low," Kyte said as he showed 10♣8♦5♦2♣ to win half the pot and stay alive.

"F***!" cried Hellmuth. "I thought you were gone."

Jon Kyte: XxXx/A♦9♦5♣3♦ - folded sixth street

Phil Hellmuth brought in, Jon Kyte completed, and Hellmuth called. Kyte check-called a bet on fourth street, and continued doing so on fifth street. Hellmuth barreled again on sixth street, sending Kyte into the tank.

"I take this one, you take the next one," Hellmuth told Kyte.

After some more time, Hellmuth started pulling back his chips. "I think I win this one," he said.

After one more "I take this one, you take the next one," Kyte let his hand go, leaving himself with three big bets.

Kevin Choi: Q♦J♣6♠3♠

"I hope I can scoop this one! A low and two flush draws," Kyte said proudly as the dealer put down a club river to give him the flush.

"Scoop!" Kyte cheered!

Omaha Hi-Lo

Phil Hellmuth raised on the button and Jon Kyte moved all in for 295,000 in the small blind. Kevin Choi called in the big blind.

Choi checked on the flop of 9♠J♠7♠ and Hellmuth bet. Choi called. Choi then led out on the 7♣ turn and Hellmuth raised. Choi called.

Choi checked on the 2♥ river and Hellmuth bet. Choi called. Hellmuth emphatically announced the nut flush with A♠10♦6♦4♠ to beat out the second nut flush of Choi with A♦K♠8♠6♥. But only the side pot would be going Hellmuth's way as Kyte slowly revealed Q♥J♥4♥2♠ for a runner-runner full house to triple up.

Hellmuth kept his cool and seemed content with the big side pot. But the Poker Brat just couldn't help himself. "If I win that, I'm over 5 million and in this thing."

Jason Daly: XxXx/8♠7♠8♣6♦/Xx

Kevin Choi brought in and called when Jason Daly completed. Daly bet fourth street, and Choi tossed in another call. Fifth street then checked through to sixth street, where Daly tossed in another bet.

Choi still called, and bet when Daly checked on seventh street. Daly eventually called off, but was forced to muck his cards when Choi showed down three kings in the hole.
