Omaha Hi-Lo
Mark Vathanasin limped in first to act, and Justin Liberto raised on his direct left. Action folded back around to Vathanasin who stuck in the call.
He then check-called a bet on the K♥3♠10♠ flop, before leading out on the 10♣ turn. Liberto raised, and Vathanasin called again to see the 4♠ river.
Vathanasin checked, Liberto bet and Vathanasin called. Liberto could only show A♣Q♥ for ace high, and Vathanasin took down the pot with A♠A♦9♦6♣ for two pair.

Omaha Hi-Lo
Donovan Bates raised from the cutoff, and both Dekel Balas and Jonathan Nebbout called from the blinds.
Balas led out on the 8♠10♦A♦ flop, and Nebbout raised. Both of his opponents made the call, and they went off to the 6♠ turn. Balas checked, and Nebbout moved all in for 50,000. Bates made a full bet, and Balas called.
Balas bet and was called by Bates on the Q♦ river, prompting all players to table their cards.
Balas showed A♠Q♠J♦3♦ for a jack-high flush with no low, and Bates turned over 5♥4♥2♥2♦ for the second nut low. Nebbout's turned straight with A♥9♥7♥5♣ was no good, as he bubbled the unofficial final table.

Eddie Blumenthal: XxXx / 4♦Q♠A♦7♦ / Xx
Nikolai Fal: XxXx / Q♦7♣9♣2♠ / Xx
Blumenthal completed, Fal raised, and Blumenthal called. Fal led on fourth street.
On fifth, Blumenthal led with the ace up. He led again on sixth, and Fal called after a small tank.
Blumenthal bet a final time on seventh and Fal quickly put out calling chips. He got the bad news as Blumenthal tabled K♦9♦8♦ in the hole, and his flush was the winner.

Stud Hi-Lo
Jonathan Nebbout: A♥4♠/A♠6♦6♠8♠/7♥
Donovan Bates: 2♣9♠3♠8♣/2♦2♥K♣
Soshi Yasoshima: K♦9♦3♥3♦/A♦A♣K♥
There was a preflop raising war, as Donovan Bates brought in and Soshi Yasoshima completed, only for Jonathan Nebbout to make it two bets to go. Bates raised again, Yasoshima called, and Nebbout moved all in. Bates capped it at five bets, and Yasoshima called again.
On fourth and fifth street, Bates bet out and was called by Yasoshima. Action then checked through on sixth and seventh.
Nebbout showed that he had aces on third, and by sixth he had two pair with both a flush and a low draw. He peeled his final card for aces up with a low. Yasoshima had a better two pair, with aces and kings, but still lost out on the high portion of the pot as Bates tabled trips. He told the table that he had been rolled up, and he chopped the main with Nebbout, scooping the side.

Eddie Blumenthal: XxXx / 8♥6♠9♠4♥ / Xx
Adam Walter: XxXx / 5♥6♦5♠4♦ / Xx
Action picked up on fifth as Walter led with open fives and Blumenthal called.
Walter would bet the whole way, with Blumenthal calling bets on sixth and seventh. Walter revealed A♠9♥3♦ in the hole for a pair of fives with a six low. Blumenthal showed A♦Q♥5♣, and his eight low was no good as Walter scooped a substantial pot.

Stud Hi-Lo
Andrew Yeh: Q♠8♣/8♦3♠9♣Q♦/5♣ 
Dekel Balas: 10♣3♥/A♠10♠2♥A♥/J♠
Dekel Balas check-called a bet from Andrew Yeh on fourth street, before leading out himself on fifth. Yeh moved all in, and Balas made the call.
Yeh's pair of eights was behind to Balas' tens, but he pulled into the lead on sixth pairing his queen. His relief was short-lived, however, as the very next card off the deck gave Balas aces up. Yeh couldn't boat up on seventh, and exited the tournament area.
