No-Limit Hold'em

David "ODB" Baker raised first to act and was called by Fu Wong on the button, Brian Yoon in the small blind, and Hooman Nikzad in the big blind for a four-way pot.

"Ah man, flop me nothing so I can fold," Baker said, which got a laugh from his tablemates.

The flop came 6♦4♦K♦ and it was checked to Baker, who continued for 16,000. Everyone folded in turn to award Baker the pot without resistance.

"Whew, I don't really have a good hand either. I just wanted it to be done," Baker said as he turned over 8♦8♥.

Omaha Hi-Lo

After a raising war on the A♥5♣4♣ flop, Mack McLaughlin was all-in for 35,000 total from the small blind against Stuart Elkin on the button.

Mack McLaughlin: 7♠6♣5♦4♦ All in
Stuart Elkin: A♣9♣5♠3♥

McLaughlin had two pair and an open-ender with a made low against the better two pair, flush draw, and wheel gutter of Elkin. No waiting was required for Elkin on the 2♣ turn as he made a wheel with the nut flush. The 8♦ river changed nothing as Elkin scooped the pot and McLaughlin hit the rail.
