Level 10

Limit Flop/Draw: 1,500-3,000, 3,000-6,000 Limits

Omaha Hi-Lo

Dylan Linde raised his button, Naoya Kihara three-bet from the small blind, and Joe Hachem called cold in the big blind. Linde also called, and Hachem and Linde both called when Kihara bet the Q♣3♠6♥ flop.

Kihara then checked the 10♦ turn. Hachem bet, folding out Linde. Kihara called to the 8♣ river, however, where he check-called another one of Hachem's bets.

Hachem tabled A♥K♥Q♠7♥ for top pair and a low. Kihara had the same low with A♣J♥7♦3♦, but his inferior high meant he was only returned a quarter of the pot.

Shortly before the hand played out, Gus Hansen was seen departing from the tournament area.
