Jeff Madsen opened the button to 32,000 before David Funkhouser raised to 256,000 with 5,000 back from the small blind, and Madsen called. The final 5,000 went in on the flop.

David Funkhouser: A♥J♥ All in
Jeff Madsen: A♠8♥

Funkhouser was in great shape to double on the A♣Q♣6♥ flop. Nothing changed on the 3♣ turn but a chop was still possible. However, the dealer peeled the 8♦ river in brutal fashion to give Madsen the winner as Funkhouser was sent to the payout desk.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Yueqi Zhu raised in the hijack and on the button, Philip Sternheimer raised which saw all action fold back around to Zhu who called.

Zhu checked the flop of 8♣J♠9♠ over to Sternheimer who bet and Zhu responded by raising.

Sternheimer called to see the 3♣ peel off on the turn, prompting Zhu to bet again and Sternheimer to call.

On the river 3♦, Zhu moved all in and Sternheimer sat back in his chair.

"Everything," he lamented "I had everything." After thinking about his decision for a little bit longer, he tossed his hand into the muck and Zhu took the pot without showdown.
