Obst Triples as Joe Departs

Limit Flop: 1,500/3,000 Blinds, 3,000-6,000 Limits
Stud Games: 700 Ante, 1,000 Bring In, 3,000 Completion, 3,000-6,000 Limits

Omaha Hi-Lo

Dean Joe was already all in when the 5♥10♥J♦ flop came on the table. James Obst then committed his stack of 13,400 from middle position, which was called by Jackson Spencer in the hijack and Anthony Ribeiro in the cutoff.

Spencer check-called Ribeiro's bet on the 8♦ turn to create a second side pot, after which the 8♠ river was checked by both.

Ribeiro tabled A♠J♥10♠5♠ for jacks and tens, winning him the secondary side pot.

The main pot and primary side pot went to Obst, however, who had made runner-runner trips with his A♥Q♠8♥4♣, beating the A♣K♦9♥2♦ of Joe as well, much to the frustration of Ribeiro.

Omaha Hi-Lo

David Tarbet put in his final 3,000 from middle position. Pearce Arnold then raised on the button, and William Smith called in the big blind.

Arnold placed a continuation-bet on the 9♥4♣K♥ flop, which was enough to let Smith muck his cards.

David Tarbet: Q♥Q♦6♠3♣ All in
Pearce Arnold: K♣K♦8♦5♠

Tarbet's queens stood no chance against the top set of Arnold, and he was eliminated after the J♦10♠ runout.

Shaun Deeb was also at this table, sitting on a six-figure stack.
