Omaha-8

With 3,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, Kyle Bowker checked from the small blind and Max Pescatori bet 500 from the big blind. A player in early position called and Bowker folded.

The turn brought the {K-Clubs} and Pescatori bet 1,000. His opponent called.

The {6-Clubs} fell on the river and Pescatori bet 1,000 once more. After brief consideration, the early-position player folded and Pescatori took the pot.

Big-O

Just before the end of Level 6, Igor Sharaskin crossed the 50,000-chip mark to extend his chip lead in the following hand:

With only about 500 chips in the middle and the board reading {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}, the player in the cutoff already had 2,400 chips committed on the turn and was facing a raise of 8,825 from Igor Sharaskin in the hijack. The cutoff went into the tank for over five minutes before Sharaskin decided to call the clock.

The player in the cutoff stayed motionless as the seconds ticked down until his hand was declared dead and Sharaskin took the pot.
