Michael Duek opened to 105,000 from under the gun and Talal Shakerchi flat-called on the button. David Eldridge three-bet to 420,000 from the big blind which got Duek to fold but Shakerchi still called.

Talal Shakerchi: K♠K♣9♦5♦

The turn brought the 4♠ which narrowed Shakerchi's outs even further. The river was the Q♣ and Eldridge hung on for a big double up.

After a limp from the player on the button, Isaac Haxton raised in the small blind to 120,000. Action was then on Evan Krentzman in the big blind, who three-bet to 400,000. Action folded back to Haxton, who made the call.

After the flop J♦A♠8♠ was put down, Krentzman enquired as to how many chips were in the pot. After getting an answer, he chose to bet 400,000.

Haxton wasted no time at all in returning his cards to the dealer, who then pushed the pot in the direction of Krentzman.

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas was down to just 150,000 chips and raised to 90,000 from under the gun. Jacob Hamed called from the big blind and the dealer fanned the flop of A♣8♦6♠. Hamed checked to Bujtas who shoved all in for his last 60,000, and Hamed called.

Laszlo Bujtas: K♦Q♦J♥3♣ All in
Jacob Hamed: Q♥10♣8♣5♣

Hamed flopped the best hand with a pair of eights and the 7♠ on the turn changed nothing. The 9♦ on the river gave Hamed a straight, and "omaha4rollz" was sent to the payout desk.
