Hand #201 - Split Pot Between Bruno Fitoussi & John Hanson

Hand #201 - (Omaha Eight or Better) Freddy Deeb has the button in seat 5, Fitoussi limps from the small blind for 150,000, and Hanson checks his option. The flop comes {K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}, Fitoussi checks, Hanson bets 150,000, and Fitoussi calls. The turn card is the {7-Clubs}, Fitoussi checks, Hanson bets 300,000, Fitoussi raises to 600,000, and Hanson calls. The river card is the {Q-Hearts}, Fitoussi bets 300,000, and Hanson calls. Fitoussi shows A-Q-3-x for a pair of queens and A-3 for the nut low. Hanson shows 10-7-5-4 for two pair, sevens and fives. They split the pot.

Last 10 Hands: #191-200

Here's a rundown of who won the last ten hands:

Omaha 8
Hand #191 - Bruno Fitoussi
Hand #192 - Freddy Deeb
Hand #193 - Freddy Deeb
Hand #194 - UNKNOWN
Hand #195 - Freddy Deeb
Hand #196 - John Hanson
Hand #197 - Freddy Deeb
Hand #198 - Bruno Fitoussi
Hand #199 - John Hanson
Hand #200 - John Hanson

Hanson and Deeb continued to add pressure to Fitoussi as they won the majority of pots.

On Hand #194, there was a commotion at the tables and we were unable to get the exact action. John Hanson could not see the clock from his seat and asked to have it moved, or have Deeb move over so they could both see it. Both the TD and Deeb rejected his request. Deeb refused because he said he'd finally found a lucky seat.

Fitoussi lost several pots as his massive lead dwindled down to a small one. For the first time in hours, Hanson was within striking distance.

Hand #200 - John Hanson

Hand #200 - (Omaha Eight or Better) John Hanson has the button in seat 4, he raises to 300,000, and Fitoussi calls from the big blind. The flop comes {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, Fitoussi checks, Hanson bets 150,000, and Fitoussi calls. The turn card pairs the board with the {8-Hearts}, Fitoussi checks, Hanson bets 300,000, and Fitoussi folds. John Hanson takes the pot.

Hand #199 - (Omaha Eight or Better) Bruno Fitoussi has the button in seat 3, Hanson limps from the small blind for 150,000, and Deeb checks his option. The flop comes {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, and both players check. The turn card is the {5-Spades}, Hanson checks, Deeb bets 300,000, Hanson raises to 600,000, and Deeb asks, "Do you have a wheel or a full house?" Hanson says nothing, and just stares straight at the community cards. Deeb says something like, "I have a big hand, but that's a scary board."

Deeb folds, and John Hanson takes the pot. Deeb says he had "Two sixes and a six-deuce."

Hand #198 - Bruno Fitoussi

Freddy Deeb wins the pot.

Unseen Clock

John Hanson is unable to see the clock from where he is sitting. The ESPN camera crew is in his direct line of site. When he asked the tournament director if the clock can be moved, the TD told him that it was not possible. Hanson asked is he could slide down and sit in a diferent spot where both he and Freddy Deeb could have visable access to the clock. Deeb protested.

"I finally got a lucky seat. I'm not going to move," explained Deeb.

Hand #196 - John Hanson

Hand #196 - (Omaha Eight or Better) Bruno Fitoussi has the button in seat 3, he raises to 300,000, and Hanson calls from the small blind. The flop comes {9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and both players check. The turn card is the {8-Clubs}, Hanson bets 300,000, and Fitoussi calls. The river card is the {2-Spades}, Hanson bets 300,000, and Fitoussi folds. John Hanson takes the pot.

Hand #194 - Maybe a Hand, Maybe Not

Hand #194 - (Omaha Eight or Better) John Hanson has the button in seat 4, and there is unknown action. Probably a walk, but they may have moved the button too far, skipping over Hanson. The players were arguing over seats and the tournament clock during this hand, if there was one, and we never saw any action.
