Eslami Not Left with Much Breathing Room

Level 8 : 1,300/2,500, 2,500 ante
Ali Eslami
Ali Eslami

Omaha Hi-Lo

Nicolas Barthe raised under the gun, and Ali Eslami called from the small blind. Tom Koral came along from the big blind and it was three-way action to a flop of 57K.

Two checks saw Barthe continue for 2,500 and both his opponents called.

After the K paired the board on the turn, two checks put action on Barthe and he bet 5,000. Only Eslami called, leaving himself just 3,000 behind, and the 7 double paired the board on the river.

Eslami checked and then folded after Barthe bet for a final time.

Calvin Anderson: 78 / 921010 / K All in
Matt Glantz: K6 / K682 / A
