Baker Triples; Kelsall in the Danger Zone

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Both Andrew Kellsall and David Baker started the hand with short stacks. Baker opened with a raise from middle position, and Andrew Kelsall made it three bets in position. The player in the small blind called, and Baker called all in, as well, for the remainder of his chips.

On the {2-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop, the small blind continued with a bet, and Kelsall called. The turn was the {8-Hearts}, and the small bling bet again. Kelsall called. On the {2-Clubs} river, the small blind bet one more time, and Kelsall called again.

"I just have a full house," the small blind said. He showed {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, and Kelsall mucked, leaving himself with just 600 chips. Baker showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, and he earned a triple-up with a better full house.

Wasserson Hits The Rail

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Eric Wasserson was all in before the flop, and he was called by four players, including Jake Schwartz.

On the {Q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, action checked to a player in middle position. He bet and was called by two other players, while Schwartz folded. On the {9-Hearts} turn, the middle-position bettor checked, then check-raised a bet from another player. He and the other player went to the {7-Spades} river. The middle-position player bet again and was called.

The middle-position player showed {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{J-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, while the other player had {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}. Wasserson was holding {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{X-}, and he couldn't find a way to win the high or the low. He was eliminated from the tournament while the two other players chopped up his chips.

Aces No Good For Jan Suchanek

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

On a board of {2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}, Jan Suchanek bet from the small blind. Jesse Martin called from the big blind, and one other player called from early position.

The river was the {5-Diamonds}, and Suchanek and Martin checked. The player in early position then turned over his {A-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Spades} indicating he was checking, as well. Suchanek showed {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{9-Spades}{Q-Hearts}.

"I can beat that," Martin said. He showed {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a flush, and that earned him half the pot, while the other half went to the early-position player with a qualifying low.
