Sigi Stockinger- 9th Place
Sigi Stockinger- 9th Place
Omaha

We pick up the action on the flop, with the board showing {A-Hearts} {7-Spades} {5-Diamonds}. Sigi Stockinger is first to act, and he leads out with a pot-sized bet of 24,000. In late position, Daniel Makowsky made the call.

The turn card came the {Q-Diamonds}. Stockinger fired again, this time spending 80,000 of the 100,000 chips he had left. Makowsky put in a raise, and Sigi stuck his last few chips into the pot.

Showdown
Stockinger: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {8-Clubs}
Makowsky: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {4-Clubs}

Makowsky had snagged the lead with his aces up on the turn, and Stockinger was just one card away from the exit. When the {7-Hearts} fell on fifth street, the good-natured pro stood from his chair, wished the table luck, and headed to the payout desk to collect 9th-place money, worth more than $25,000.
