Elaine Rawn was all-in for her final 425,000 from the big blind against Narcis Nedelcu in the cutoff.

Elaine Rawn: A♣8♣7♥7♦ All in
Narcis Nedelcu: A♠Q♣10♣2♠

The J♥9♥6♣ flop kept Rawn in front but Nedelcu picked up an open-ender. The 10♥ turn gave Rawn a straight of her own, before the K♠ fell on the river to give Nedelcu a higher straight, and Rawn had to settle for sixth after an impressive run.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Mark Liedtke raised from the cutoff and was called by Narcis Nedelcu on the button. John Cipriano then called all in for less from the big blind, creating a side pot between Liedtke and Nedelcu.

Liedtke check-called bets from Nedelcu on the 3♣A♥3♠ flop and J♣ turn, but check-folded facing a final bet from Nedelcu on the Q♥ river.

"You're probably good," Cipriano said as he revealed J♥6♥ for jacks-up.

Nedelcu tabled 9♣5♣4♦3♥ for trip threes and Cipriano's hand was scooped up and mucked — eliminating him in fifth place.
