Level 9

Stud Hi-Lo

Eric Rodawig: XxXx / 5♦8♣J♥4♥ / Xx All in
Yueqi Zhu: XxXx / K♥9♠4♣8♥ / Xx
Xixiang Luo: XxXx / 3♠4♠10♦7♣ / Xx
Nikolai Fal: XxXx / 3♦2♥10♠ - folded on fifth street

Action picked up on fourth as Zhu led and everyone called.

On fifth, Zhu led again, Luo called, Rodawig raised all in, Fal folded, Zhu completed the next bet to 15,000, and Luo called.

Sixth street checked through before Luo called a final bet from Zhu on the side.

Zhu showed K♠K♣2♣ in the hole for trip kings, and Luo showed A♠7♠2♦ for a seven low. Rodawig flashed A♦A♣3♥, and he could not salvage half the pot as he was eliminated.

Level 9

Omaha Hi-Lo

David Anderson raised in middle position, and both Hal Rotholz and Yuval Bronshtein called in the small and big blind.

After two checks on the 2♣6♦2♠ flop, Anderson continued with a bet, and both opponents called again.

The 7♠ turn checked through, but when Rotholz checked for a third time on the 7♥, Bronshtein took over the lead with a bet. Anderson called, and after a bit of time deliberating, Rotholz called too.

Anderson tabled A♣J♣10♦7♦ for the high, and Bronshtein flipped over A♥J♥6♣4♣ for the low, as the two chopped up Rotholz's money.

Level 9

Jason Daly raised in late position and Chris Vitch on the button, Patrick Leonard in the small blind, and Richard Sklar in the big blind all called.

The flop rolled out A♠2♥10♣ and action checked through to Daly who bet and Vitch continued with Leonard calling behind him.

On the turn K♦, Leonard checked over to Daly who bet and he received two calls again.

Leonard checked the river 3♥ and Daly bet once more, receiving calls from Vitch and Leonard.

Daly tabled A♦Q♥J♦10♥ for Broadway and Vitch tabled A♥6♦5♥5♦ for a six-five low. Leonard showed A♣K♠8♠5♣ for top two and an eight-five low, but it was no good for either half as he table mates chopped up the pot.

Heikkila led again on sixth now showing four diamonds, and both opponents called again. Seventh street checked through.

Cates announced kings-up before Blumenthal tabled A♣8♥5♥ in the hole for an eight-high straight. Heikkila could not find another diamond, and he mucked, conceding the pot to Blumenthal.
