Event 40 - $10,000 World Championship Pot Limit Omaha
Day: 3
Austin:
Mattsson:
Austin was in front and the turn and river bricked out to give him the double-up. He's up over 600,000 with Mattson back to the pack.
The board was a definitive and today's chip leader has been eliminated, another case of the brutality of the flipping nature of Omaha.
Howard Lederer had limped for 20,000 and Matt Graham made it 90,000. Williams repotted to 220,000 with about 200,000 or so more behind. Lederer folded and Graham made the call.
The flop was and Williams automatically moved the other half of his stack in with only to be instantly called by Graham's . Williams needed the ace to come but instead saw a turn and a river to knock us down to 15 players.
Play folded back to Greenstein who announced he was all in. Schwartz shrugged, took another look at his cards and declared a call.
Greenstein:
Schwartz:
Greenstein held aces with the nut flush draw, as Schwartz would have to hang on with his two pair.
However the turn brought the to spike a set for Greenstein and give him the lead. The river bricked the and Greenstein doubles through.
After the chips were cut down and handed over, Greenstein found himself stacking up 1.15 million with Schwartz now down to just 150,000.
"Are you kidding me?" said Arieh as Austin doubled up...
The flop fell and action checked around. The turn was the and Graham slid 96,000 into the middle. Gabriellson made the call as Marcus stepped aside.
The river brought the and Graham moved 224,000 into the pot. Gabriellson announced a call and Graham revealed for the nuts. Gabriellson slammed the table in disgust and flashed -X.
With that pot Graham may have taken the chip lead. We'll have the updated chip counts shortly.
