Omaha Hi-Lo

Yingui Li raised first to act and Ian Steinman went all in for his last 2,800 from the hijack. Tara Dunn called cold on the button and Ismael Bojang called cold from the small blind. Li then re-raised to 3,800 total and everyone called.

Bojang checked to Li on the Q♦9♠4♠ flop and he continued for a bet. Dunn called and Bojang raised. Both Li and Dunn called.

The 6♥ fell on the turn and everyone checked.

Bojang led out for a bet on the Q♠ river, which got folds from both Li and Dunn.

"Ace-four," Bojang announced.

"No way!" Dunn replied, implying she folded the best hand.

Bojand revealed A♠8♥5♦4♥ as advertised to claim the side pot and Steinman turned over J♣6♠3♦2♣ to claim the main pot.

Omaha Hi-Lo

John Evans raised from under the gun and was called by Maros Lechman in the cutoff, Calen McNeil on the button, Erich Gmur in the small blind, and Matthias Kubbe in the big blind.

On the 7♠4♦3♣ flop, Evans continued and was called by Lechman before McNeil and Gmur folded. Kubbe then check-raised, and both opponents called.

Kubbe slowed down with a check on the 7♦ turn before Evans bet again and both opponents called.

Evans bet for a final time on the 7♣ river and got paid off by both Lechman and Kubbe as he tabled A♦2♥Q♦Q♣ for the nut low and queens full of sevens to scoop a pot of 28,000.

Pot-Limit Omaha

With a sizable pot already brewing on a flop of J♠J♦2♠, Scott Seiver and Matthew Bode were all in against Frederik Brink, who had both players covered. (Seiver had Bode covered).

Matthew Bode: A♣A♦K♦9♦ All in
Scott Seiver: Q♠Q♣10♠8♥ All in
Frederik Brink: A♠K♣K♥J♣

The 6♠ turn immediatley improved Seiver to a flush and the 3♥ river changed nothing — more than doubling up Seiver and sending Bode to the rail.

Negreanu completed first to act, Ashby raised on his direct left, and Negreanu called as he announced, "I don't believe you but I call. Also there's a rebuy available."

Ashby would continue the aggression the entire way as he led on fourth, fifth, and sixth, with Negreanu calling each street.

On seventh, Ashby led dark and Negreanu flicked in the call. Ashby revealed 9♠9♥7♥ in the hole for trip nines as he took a pot off Negreanu.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Nozomu Shimizu raised to 1,400 under the gun and was called by John Bergendahl in the small blind and Nam Le in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Action checked through on the 10♦K♣4♣ flop and then Bergendahl checked to Le, who fired 2,500 into the middle on the 10♠ turn. Shimizu called and Bergendahl folded.

The A♦ completed the board and both players checked.

Le turned over A♣10♣6♥3♥ for tens-full of aces and Shimizu sent his hand into the muck.

Stud Hi-Lo

Anderson Ireland: XxXx / 10♠K♦9♣A♦ / Xx
John Cressend: XxXx / 5♣Q♦2♦9♥ / Xx

Ireland completed, Cressend raised, and Ireland called.

Ireland then opted to lead with the higher board on fifth and Cressend called.

Ireland fired again on fifth and sixth with Cressend sticking around.

He led again on seventh and Cressend begrudgingly put in the call as Ireland tabled K♠Q♥10♦ in the hole for two pair, kings and tens, to scoop as neither player made a low.
