First Table Break; Tough Hands for Ivey, Apparently

Williams, Generous With All But his Chips
Williams, Generous With All But his Chips
Omaha 8:

With six player so far fallen from the HORSE, as it were, the Omaha round continued to ship chips to David Williams. He played out an interesting hand against Brandon Cantu just now, betting a {5-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {4-Spades} flop after calling Cantu's preflop raise, getting raised, and putting in a third bet which Cantu flat called in position. The {3-Hearts} on the turn was check-called by Williams, but he then bet out the {2-Diamonds} river.

Williams showed {3-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} for the straight and a decent low, but I spotted the {A-Spades} in Cantu's hand before the cards were all whisked off and the pot chopped, so I am assuming a better low made the split happen.

The very next hand Williams won a pot from Phil Ivey, raising preflop again and betting until by the turn, the board {2-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} , Ivey gave up.

No hard feelings, though, as Williams produced a tube of hand cream (riffling chips is so hard on the hands) from what I delightedly noticed was a man-bag and shared it with his opponent.
