Alan 'Big Al' Emerson Eliminated in 15th Place ($8,198)

In one of the last Omaha hands of the day, Peter Gelencser opened with a raise from middle position with Alan 'Big Al' Emerson calling in the cutoff. Carlos Mortensen also made the call from the small blind.

The flop arrived {2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and Mortensen led out at the pot. Gelencser folded and Emerson called.

The turn brought the {7-Clubs} and Mortensen bet again before Emerson moved all in for a few thousand more, with Mortensen committed to the call.

Mortensen: {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}[6d}
Emerson: {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Emerson was set for at least half until the {3-Clubs} fell on the river to give Mortensen a wheel and a scoop.

"You make the best wheels," chirped Mark Scott to a jovial Mortensen, as Emerson departs on the close of Day 2 play in 15th place for $8,198 in prize money.
