Omaha Hi-Lo
Jason Daly raised in early position. It folded to Gus Hansen in the big blind, who called. Hansen check-called a bet from Daly on the A♥4♥10♣ flop, and the 4♦ turn was dealt.
Hansen checked again, and Daly put him all-in for his last 20,000. Hansen considered folding for a bit, but ultimately decided his odds were too good and called off.
Gus Hansen: Q♠7♣6♠2♣
Jason Daly: A♣K♣J♦5♥
Hansen's low draw was live, but it did not come in on the 10♠ river, securing his elimination in 24th place.

In the 898th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna Englandn and Mike Holtz are back at Level 9 Studio to offer their thoughts on Doug Polk's recent appearance on Kill Tony, the popular Austin-based stand-up comedy program. How did Doug do in front of Tony Hinchcliffe and company? Let's just say you might be surprised.
Mike, who made a recent appearance in Daniel Negreanu's vlog, then sounds off on the cancelled WSOP Online bracelet event, the crew discusses the recently-announced changes to the WSOP Circuit, Chad goes to the world's largest casino collectibles show, and Matt Savage offers his thoughts as a special guest speaker.
Other topics include bracelet wins by Nick Schulman, Jason Koon, and John Racener, highlights from recent Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) events, and an exclusive interview with famed poker author Michael Kaplan, who recently released a new book, Advantage Players. The veteran scribe shares several poker stories, including Phil Ivey and Kelly Sun's baccarat edge sorting, the legendary Billy Baxter, and what it was like working with Stu Ungar in what was one of the final, if not THE final, interviews before he passed in 1998.
Learn about all those stories and more in the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast!
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice a week during the 2025 WSOP every Thursday and Sunday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
