Gary Long Flops It, Gets His Double-Up
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 0 ante
We saw Gary Long standing up after pushing his last 12,000 chips into the pot from the cutoff position. Long was called by a player in the hijack and it was up to the dealer to decide this one.
Showdown
Long:
Opponent:
Long was slightly ahead with his pocket tens and suited connector, but as is always the case with Omaha the flop would settle things, and after it fell Long's nut straight gave him a commanding lead. The on the turn further solidified Long's holding, and after the fell on the river Long had scored a much needed double-up.
He now sits with a little over 20,000 and will need to keep making moves if he hopes to survive the minefield of Day 2.
