Omaha Hi-Lo

Action picked up on a Q♣7♥5♦ flop in a three-way pot. Derek Dewitt had put in a flop raise from the big blind and was called by Brian Yoon under the gun and Josh Arieh in the small blind.

On the 3♣ turn, Arieh checked to Dewitt who bet. Yoon folded and Arieh called.

Arieh check-called a final bet on the J♣ river, only to be shown A♥7♠6♥4♦ by Dewitt, and his straight with ace-four low was enough for the scoop.

Limit Hold'em

Action was picked up on a flop of 5♣A♦K♣ with the pot contested between small blind Marco Johnson and big blind John Veltri. With about 60,000 in the middle, Johnson moved all in. Veltri sigh called, and was very surprised to find out that he was ahead.

Marco Johnson: J♥9♠ All in
John Veltri: Q♦2♠

He wasn't ahead for long, however, as Johnson spiked the J♣ on the turn. The 3♣ river secured his double-up.
