Pot-Limit Omaha Graveyard

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Many notable players joining the field hail from the Brasilia Room. They'd been receiving four hole cards at the beginning of their day at work. But the things didn't work out for many of the notables in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, so Mike Watson, Sam Trickett, Dmitry Yurasov, Ismael Bojang, Justin Bonomo, and others have switched to the vanilla No-Limit Hold'em.

Ho Folds To Engel's River Raise

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Maria Ho and Ari Engel were on the river with the board reading {7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

Ho led out 3,500 from the small blind, but Engel had the final word.

Engel placed in four times as much, bumping the showdown price to 14,000.

Ho gave it some thought but eventually ended up folding, leaving herself with just over a starting stack.

Engel, who had a rough start to the tournament, is now sitting on 45,000.
