Pot-Limit Omaha

On a {K-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop, Joseph Palma had 43,000, over half his stack, in front of him and Patrik Korsar shoved. Palma took some time before calling the rest off.

Korsar: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Palma: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

"You have a deuce?" asked Palma. "Oh, I'm in trouble," he said upon seeing the showdown. The turn and river proved no help and Palma was off to collect his $6,718 for finishing 29th.

Manning Makes the Pay Jump

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Jeff Manning was all in for almost 100,000 against Ashly Butler.

Manning: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Butler: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

Manning failed to get any help during a {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs} runout and was left with crumbs. With one big blind left under the gun, Manning elected to fold and wait for one more hand.

It turned out to be a smart decision on his part, as Simon Lam and Robin Ytilato busted before Manning was in the big blind. The American secured a pay jump of almost $1,100 before busting in the subsequent hand.

Lam to the Rail

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

In a raised pot, the board read {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, and action was on Jerry Callahan. He checked, Simon Lam shoved his last 29,000, Millard Hale folded, and Callahan called after some deliberation.

Lam: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Callahan: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The river was the {9-Diamonds}, and Lam was out in 34th place.

His heads-up opponent, Rick Alvarado agonized over the decision for a couple minutes before eventually laying down his hand.
