Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Julio Belluscio limped the hijack, Daniel Harmetz limped the cutoff, Aaron Kupin limped the button, and Bariscan Betil checked his option in the big blind.

On the K♦9♥4♠ flop, Belluscio led out for 10,000 and only Betil called.

The 5♥ turn checked through to the A♦ river which saw Betil announce pot for a bet of 42,000, as Belluscio immediately threw his hands into the air in frustration.

"Really, man?" bemoaned Belluscio as he eventually tossed A♠A♥ into the middle as he folded top set. Betil showed Kx8x5x3x for just two pair as Belluscio made the wrong fold.

No-Limit Five Card Draw

Jon Turner from the small blind and James Obst from the big blind had built a pot of over 110,000 before the first draw.

Both players took one and the action checked through.

"I think you're gonna win," Turner joked as he showed K♦8♠7♠6♠5♠ for a missed straight flush draw. Obst also a missed draw, with four hearts and king-jack, and his king-high was best as he dragged a funny pot.

Jansen then checked on the 10♠ river before Negreanu tossed out a bet of 30,000. Jansen would go deep in the tank for over a minute before he placed the call into the middle. He got the bad news as Negreanu tabled A♦J♦7♥7♣5♥ for the rivered nut straight as he dragged another pot.
