David Singer Gets Out of Kevin LaMonica's Trap

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
David Singer
David Singer

Omaha Hi-Lo

Action folded around to the blinds and Kevin LaMonica limped in. David Singer checked his option from the big blind.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and LaMonica checked. Singer bet. LaMonica raised. Singer made it three bets and LaMonica put Singer all in. Singer called.

LaMonica: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Singer: {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

The board completed with the {5-Spades} and {K-Clubs} and Singer earned the entire pot with a straight and the only low.

"I think I set the trap pretty good," LaMonica said.

"Sometimes you can do everything right and they just get there," Andrew Kelsall said from across the table.

With that, Singer earned a full double through LaMonica, but LaMonica is still the overwhelming chip leader.

Esther Taylor celebrates a chopped pot.
Esther Taylor celebrates a chopped pot.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Esther Taylor raised from under the gun and Kevin LaMonica re-raised from the cutoff which Taylor called.

On the {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop Taylor bet, was raised and called all in.

Taylor: {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}
LaMonica: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

Taylor flopped a low while LaMonica was ahead with two pair for the high but needed to dodge some of Taylor's straight outs. The turn and river came {K-Hearts} and {3-Diamonds} and the pot was chopped.

The next hand LaMonica raised from the hijack and Taylor defended.

On the {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop Taylor was again all in after a series of raises and again she made the low while LaMonica won the high and they chopped another pot.

Esther Taylor Put on the Short Stack

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Wayne LaMonica raised and was called by Esther Taylor from the small blind. Brandon Shack-Harris folded his big blind and the two went heads-up to a flop.

On the {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop, Taylor checked to LaMonica. LaMonica bet and Taylor called.

On the {Q-Spades} turn, Taylor checked again. LaMonica bet again and Taylor called.

Both players checked the {5-Hearts} river. LaMonica showed {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for a pair of kings and that was good enough to beat Taylor {A-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-} for missed low and straight draws. The hand left Taylor with an extremely short stack of just 18,000.

Razz

LaMonica: {X-}{X-} / {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} / {X-}
Kelsall: {X-}{X-} / {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds} / {x-}

On fourth street Kelsall bet and LaMonica called. On fifth street Kelsall bet again.

"Nice catch," LaMonica said. Then he raised.

"You say nice catch then you raise?" Kelsall asked.

"Yeah, I got a nice catch too," LaMonica said.

"Ok, well, I'm gonna raise you back," Kelsall said. He made it three bets and LaMonica called.

On sixth, Kelsall continued with a bet and LaMonica called. On seventh, Kelsall bet again in the dark. LaMonica checked his cards then folded {A-}{2-}{Q-} face up.

"I'm gonna show you," Kelsall said. "Because I made a wheel, then drew another ace." He turned up {A-}{A-}{3-} and his wheel was good for a scoop of the pot, putting a dent in LaMonica's monster stack.
