Omaha Hi-Lo

Gregory Josephson raised in the hijack, seeing Luigi Santoro call in the small blind. Robert Price made it three bets to go in the big blind, which both Josephson and Santoro called.

Price fired bets on the 2♠2♦6♠ flop, 3♥ turn, and J♣ river, with Josephson and Santoro calling him down.

Price revealed A♥A♦J♦2♥ for deuces full of jacks. Santoro could only laugh as he tabled 8♣4♦3♦2♣ for an inferior full house, while Josephson had called for the low part of the pot with 10♦7♦5♥5♣.

Pan called to the Q♠ river, which both players checked. Iasnogorodskii showed two pair with J♥10♦9♣4♣, but Pan had rivered a better hand with A♥Q♦8♣7♣ and took down the pot.

Gray led on fifth with open threes and the others called.

On sixth, Gray elected to check with open trips, Josephson checked, and Santoro bet, which both called.

Stud Hi-Lo

Susan Kane: XxXx/K♠10♣3♠ - folded fifth street
Tom McCormick: A♥5♣3♥/4♥J♠5♥7♦
Andrey Zaichenko: XxXx/8♦A♣3♣Q♥/Xx

Susan Kane completed, Tom McCormick raised, and Andrey Zaichenko called cold. Kane also called to fifth street, where Zaichenko took the betting lead and fired.

Kane and McCormick both called, but when Zaichenko caught his third open low card on fifth street and bet, Kane folded. McCormick stuck around with a call, however, after which sixth street was checked.

Zaichenko picked the aggression back up on seventh street by betting, only to be raised by McCormick.

Zaichenko instantly tossed in a call, but slowly mucked his cards when McCormick tabled a pair of fives for the high and a seven-low, seeing McCormick scoop the pot.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Karina Jett from the hijack and Anthony Lamps from the button were tangled in a bloated pot as each player had 6,000 in front of them headed to the river.

With the board reading K♦4♥3♣10♥8♥, Jett checked to Lamps who fired out a final bet, and Jett reluctantly put in the call. Lamps tabled 8♦6♦4♣2♠ for two pair and six-two for the low. Jett had another look at her cards but could not salvage half as she mucked, and Lamps scooped a big one.

And that’s exactly why Schulman earns this week’s WSOP Performance of the Week honors.
