Razz

Toby Lewis: XxXx / Ax6x2xKx - folded on sixth street
Chad Eveslage: XxXx / Qx6x - folded on fourth street
Brian Rast: XxXx / 5x3x7x6x

After an uneventful round a Razz, fourth street was finally seen as Rast limped, Lewis limped behind, and Eveslage was the bring-in.

Rast led on fourth and only Lewis called before fifth street checked through.

Rast led again on sixth showing a very strong board, and Lewis laid it down without much of a fight.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Toby Lewis raised his button, and Brian Rast defended his big blind. Rast checked the A♥6♠9♦ flop to Lewis, who bet. Rast then raised, and Lewis called.

Rast slowed down on the J♠ turn, checking before calling Lewis' subsequent bet. Both players checked the J♣ river to showdown.

Rast tabled 6♥5♠3♣2♣ for jacks and sixes, and he won the pot when Lewis silently mucked his cards.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Toby Lewis raised from the button, Nacho Barbero three-bet from the small blind, and Lewis called.

On the Q♥J♠7♣ flop, Barbero's final 325,000 found its way into the middle.

Nacho Barbero: J♥J♦6♦2♥ All in
Toby Lewis: A♦Q♣9♦8♥

Barbero was in great shape with middle set against the top pair and gutter of Lewis. The 6♠ turn improved Lewis to an open-ender before the 10♣ fell on the river to give Lewis the straight and leave Barbero flabbergasted.

"He's like zero percent to scoop on the flop," bemoaned a frustrated Barbero on his way to the exit after an impressive run.

Limit Hold'em

Toby Lewis raised under the gun, and Brian Rast defended his big blind. Rast check-called Lewis' bet on the 2♠10♥J♠ flop before he check-raised his opponent on the 8♦ turn.

Lewis called to the 6♠ river, where he quickly called another bet by Rast.

Rast announced jacks-up and tabled J♣8♠ for jacks and eights. Lewis just shook his head as he paid his opponent.
