Omaha Hi-Lo

Action was picked up to the J♠3♥3♣ flop in a four-way, four-bet pot as each player contributed 1,600 preflop. Allen Bari bet from the cutoff, Walter Chambers called on the button, Kristan Lord called in the small blind, and Mallory Smith called in the big blind.

On the 10♥ turn, Bari fired again and all three opponents called, much to the surprise of Bari.

"I did not expect that," joked Bari as the 6♦ landed on the river and he bet again. "If all three of you call this time I'll be very surprised."

Chambers and Lord folded before Smith reluctantly put in the call. Bari tabled A♠6♣4♣3♦ for a full house to drag a sizeable pot early.

"Alright, it's a party," Vitch said.

Alrgara bet on fourth street, which got folds from Bilodeau and Hastings, but a raise from Vitch. Crouch called cold and Algara called as well.

Vitch bet on fifth street and only Crouch called.

Crouch then led out for a bet on sixth street after Vitch paired his five and Vitch called.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Scott Abrams opened to 600 first to act and was called by Sami Hamid in the cutoff and Frankie O'Dell in the big blind.

O'Dell took two while the others only needed one.

O'Dell peeked his cards and quickly announced a bet of 1,500. Abrams called quickly before Hamid got out of the way. O'Dell tabled 8x7x6x4x2x for an eight-seven as Abrams could only tap the table in defeat as O'Dell dragged the pot.
