Another check from Hunichen was followed by a bet from Phillips, and the call was made. Hunichen checked again on the 7♥ river, where Phillips fired one last time.

Hunichen called, and the hands were turned up. Phillips showed A♠K♦5♣3♣ for a full house with a seven-five low. Hunichen flipped over Q♣8♣5♥3♥ for the same low, as Phillips took three-quarters of the pot.

Christophe Morbee: XxXx / Ax3x2xQx / Xx
Brian Tate: XxXx / 5x4xQxKx / Xx

Action picked up on fifth as Morbee led and Tate called. The same action occurred on sixth as Tate was a non-believer.

On seventh, Morbee bet again and Tate called. Morbee sheepishly turned over 7x3xAx in the hole as he made two pair, and was playing a queen-seven low. However, it was good as Tate had a second look at his cards and mucked.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Four-ways in a limped pot, Todd Rodenborn led from the small blind on the J♠7♥2♥ flop. Richard Bai folded in the big blind, while Ryan Hoenig in the cutoff and Erick Lindgren on the button called.

On the 5♠ turn, Rodenborn led again and only Hoenig called.

Rodenborn slowed down with a check on the 2♣ river, Hoenig bet, and Rodenborn called. He got the bad news as Hoenig tabled A♣6♥3♦2♦ for the nut low and trip twos, which was enough for the scoop as he dragged an early pot.

Action was three-way to the 4♠8♦A♦ flop, where Dylan Lambe led out with a bet from the small blind. Brian Battistone called in the big blind, before Brian Breck raised on the button.

Both players called to see the Q♦ turn, where Lambe and Battistone checked. Breck slid out a bet, and only Battistone called to the 5♥ river.

Battistone led out with a bet, and Breck answered with a raise. Battistone called and tabled 8♠7♦3♥2♦ for the nut low and a flush. Breck showed J♣7♣3♦2♥ for the same low, earning only a quarter of the pot.
