Chris Hunichen: Ax2x/3x5x10x8x/Kx All in
Toby Lewis: 6x3x/5x5x2x6x/8x

Toby Lewis completed, Chris Hunichen raised, and Lewis called. Hunichen bet on fourth and fifth street. Lewis called at first, but raised the latter street to put Hunichen all-in. Hunichen called, revealing the cards.

Hunichen made an eight-five low on sixth street for a sizable lead. Lewis improved on seventh street, but his eight-six was not good enough to take the pot, doubling up Hunichen instead.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Nacho Barbero raised in early position. It folded to Chris Hunichen on the button, who called, and Toby Lewis defended his big blind after.

Lewis then led out on the J♠5♠10♦ flop, being called by both opponents. The 2♣ slowed the chipleader down as he checked it over to Barbero. Barbero bet, Hunichen called, and Lewis folded.

The 10♥ river was checked down. "I win," claimed Barbero as he tabled A♠A♦6♥6♣ for aces and tens. Hunichen flashed AxQx3x with spades as he added his cards to the muck in defeat, being left with one and a half big bet.

Chad Eveslage: 4♠3♠/7♠5♠6♦10♣/9♦
Brian Rast: XxXx/8♥ - folded on third street

Chad Eveslage brought in, Brian Rast completed, and David Oppenheim two-bet. Eveslage then three-bet, folding out Rast. Oppenheim called to fourth street, where he paired and led out.

Rast called to fifth street. Oppenheim bet, Rast raised, and the players exchanged raises until Oppenheim's stack was in the middle and at risk.

Eveslage had already made a straight, and Oppenheim failed to fill up on sixth or seventh street, letting out a loud expletive as he peeled his final card.

Oppenheim left the tournament area in tenth place, leaving the remaining nine players to converge on the unofficial final table.
