Sean Barringer: {x-}{x-} / {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades} / {x-}
JJ Liu: {x-}{x-} / {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} / {x-}
Gary Kosakowski: {x-}{x-} / {3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades} / {x-}

Sean Barringer found all of his chips go into the middle on fifth and both of his opponents called. Gary Kosakowski bet the rest of the way and JJ Liu called him down.

Kosakowski tabled {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, giving him a straight for the high and a seven low for the other half. Both players mucked their hands as Kosakowski scooped in the pot, eliminating Barringer.

Kosakowski Leaves Julien with Crumbs

Level 16

Omaha Hi-Lo

Kearns Julien opened, Gary Kosakowski made it three and Julien called to see the {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop. Julien bet, Kosakowski called and the {4-Spades} landed on the turn.

Kosakowski called a bet from Julien and a {5-Clubs} completed the board. Julien bet again and again Kosakowski called. Julien turned over {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts} for two pair but it was no good as Kosakowski tabled {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the wheel, giving him more than enough to scoop the pot as Julien was left short.

Julien Three-Quarters Kosakowski

Level 16

Omahe Hi-Lo

Sean Barringer made it two from under the gun, Kearns Julien called in the cutoff, Gary Kosakowski followed on the button and Roland Israelashvili defended his big blind.

The dealer fanned out {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} on the flop and action checked to Barringer who bet. All three players called to see the {10-Spades} turn card. Action checked to Julien, he bet and Kosakowski raised.

Israelashvili and Barringer dipped out, leaving Julien who moved all in and Kowsakowski called. Julien turned over {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a pair of eights with the nut-low and Kowsakowski showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}, giving him the same low with a flush and straight draw for the high.

A {6-Clubs} completed the board, sending the high to Julien and his two pair as the low was split between them.
