Omaha Hi-Lo
Action was picked up four-ways to the Q♣J♥8♦ flop in a hand between Jiyang Gan from under the gun, Ed Smith from the hijack, Mike Henrich from the small blind, and Robert Kearse from the big blind. Kearse led and everyone stuck around for a turn.
On the 3♥ turn, Kearse led again, Gan called, Smith folded, and Henrich called.
The K♥ river quickly checked through as Henrich tabled A♠10♦3♦2♦ for broadway to scoop an early one.

Omaha Hi-Lo
Scott Seiver raised his button, and Bruce Levitt called in the big blind. Both players checked the 4♦Q♣3♦ flop before Levitt checked the A♥ river over to Seiver as well.
Seiver fired a bet, and Levitt called. The 6♣ river was knuckled by both again, prompting Levitt to table A♦10♦7♦2♥. His top pair and six-low were good for both ends of the pot as Seiver mucked his cards.

William Smith: XxXx / 8♠2♣A♦6♥ / Xx
John Zaleski: XxXx / J♣7♠7♥A♠ / Xx
Masterson limped, Smith limped, Zaleski completed, and both opponents called.
