Pot-Limit: 4,000 Ante, 2,000/4,000 Blinds, 8,000-14,000 Pot Limit Raise
Omaha Hi-Lo
Michael Krescanko Jr . and Sr. were among the 273 returnees for Day 2. The elder Krescanko found himself in jeopardy against two players on the second level of the day.
Carter Jones started the action off with a raise to 16,000 under the gun. Brian Battistone three-bet it, Krescanko Sr. four-bet it, and Jones came in again to cap the preflop betting at 40,000.
After the flop hit 7♣10♥10♠, Jones was first to fire with 8,000. Battistone raised, putting Krescanko all in with his last 4,500, and getting Jones to toss his last 500 chip into the pile.
Carter Jones: A♦6♣5♠3♣
Michael Krescanko: A♠A♥Q♣5♥
Brian Battistone: A♣9♣6♠3♥
When the dust settled after the turn and river of 4♣8♠, Jones managed to stay alive by splitting the low with Battistone, who took the high, hitting his gutshot straight draw on the river.
And the "who lasts longest" game between father and son went to the younger Krescanko.
"No surprise, I usually win it," Krescanko Jr. said with a laugh.
