Omaha

A player in mid position opened the pot with a raise to 6,400. Hoyt Corkins was on the button, and he three-bet the pot. Next to act was Bertrand Grospellier, and he raised all in over the top. The original raiser ducked out, but Corkins called the extra few thousand to put himself all in, giving ElkY a small rebate.

. The Cowboy made his Broadway straight on the river, earning a stay of execution on the final card. He has more than doubled up to 75,000, while Grospellier has been knocked back to 35,000.
