Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

On a board reading 3♠3♥3♦, James Woods found himself at risk for 63,000 up against Davis Aalvik who had jammed to isolate the pot after multiple players saw the flop.

James Woods: Q♣7♠4♥3♣ All in
Davis Aalvik: 8♥5♠5♣4♣

Woods had flopped quad threes and found himself locking up the pot on the turn 10♣ before the river 6♠ even peeled off. After being down to under 30,000 just a few hands ago, Woods has now found himself spinning back up the chip counts.

Big O

Before plopping enough green chips down to cover Lawrence Brandt's 111,000-chip all-in, Jean Laurent said, "I have a terrible hand," as if he weren't going to make the call.

"Uh oh," two players at the table said in unison.

They were right.

Lawrence Brandt: A♣8♦6♠4♦2♠ All in
Jean Laurent: A♥Q♣J♠J♦5♥

The runout 4♠10♣10♠8♣2♦ brought bad news for Brandt, as his pair of eights wasn't good enough to top Laurent's jacks, and his low was not low enough.

Big O

Ariel Mantel managed to get his full stack in preflop, facing a big-stacked James Newberry, who was looking to score an elimination.

Ariel Mantel: A♦K♠Q♥6♣2♥ All in
James Newberry: A♠K♣9♦5♥2♦

The preflop matchup was relatively even, but the J♦10♠4♥ flop gave Mantel the advantage as he picked up more straight outs than his opponent. The 4♣ turn confirmed that there would be no low, and Mantel was looking to catch a king or a nine for the full double, unable to be knocked out. The river Q♦ was what Mantel would've hoped for preflop, but it gave both players Broadway, and the pot was split.

Pot-Limit: 10,000 Ante, 5,000/10,000 Blinds, 20,000-35,000 Pot Limit Raise

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Action was picked up on the turn in a pot between Seth Frederici in late position and Justin Liberto in the cutoff with a pot brewing between the two of them.

With a board reading 10♦8♥4♣8♦, Frederici moved his stack all in to put 220,000 infront of him and Liberto sighed before calling with the covering stack.

Seth Frederici: A♥J♦3♠2♠ All in
Justin Liberto: A♣6♦4♦3♥

A J♠ peeled off on the river to give Frederici jacks and eights, eliciting a fist-pump from Frederici as he raked in the pot from the WSOP bracelet winner.

Action was picked up on a flop of 10♠6♥Q♥ with big blind Gary Benson all in and at risk against under the gun player Tobias Hausen.

Gary Benson: Q♣Q♦J♦8♦4♣ All in
Tobias Hausen: A♣A♥J♥6♠2♣

Benson's flopped set improved to a boat on the 10♦ turn, leaving Hausen drawing to just a Greenstein on the river. The needle K♣ did improve him, but Broadway was not enough as he handed over almost 300,000 to his tablemate.

Pot-Limit: 10,000 Ante, 5,000/10,000 Blinds, 20,000-35,000 Pot Limit Raise

Big O

Action was picked up on a flop of J♦7♦3♠ with Gebrehiwet Goitom, Marcelo V.R. Costa, and Juan Lamprea tangled in a three-way all in. Goitom was the covering stack.

Juan Lamprea: A♠K♠Q♠J♠2♦ All in
Marcelo V.R. Costa: A♣K♣K♦5♠2♥ All in
Gebrehiwet Goitom: A♥J♣5♦4♥3♣

Goitom locked up the high with a straight on the 6♣ turn, and was freerolling for the low, looking for a deuce to knock out both opponents. The 8♥ river meant that they would stay alive, but would have to settle for just a quarter of the pot with the nut low.

Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Corey Bradford survived back-to-back all-ins to keep his seat for a while.

First, Bradford split a pot with Phillip Hui.

Corey Bradford: K♣J♣6♠5♠ All in
Phillip Hui: A♠Q♠8♥2♠

After Hui ran off the rest of the table on the flop, Bradford got a runner-runner flush to take the high and split with Hui's nut-low on a board of 10♠5♥Q♣7♣8♣.

In the next hand, Bradford was all-in against Jean Laurent and Robert Tahirovic preflop.

After the flop hit 6♦J♣2♠, Laurent bet 75,000 chips. Tahirovic took quite a while to deliberate, before sliding his cards across the table to the dealer.

Corey Bradford: A♥K♣7♣3♠ All in
Jean Laurent: A♠Q♦J♠4♦
