Boudreau Out, Brooks Climbing

Last year's $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha runner-up, Kevin Boudreau, was just busted by 2011 LAPC champ Gregory Brooks.

On a flop of {9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} Brooks in the cutoff bet out 11,500 and Boudreau called on the button.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and Brooks checked to Boudreau who bet the pot which essentially put him all in (2,500 behind). Brooks made the raise/call and showed {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Clubs} for the nut straight and Boudreau had {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for straight and flush draws. The river came {8-Diamonds} and Boudreau's journey to back-to-back $5,000 PLO final tables is over.

Brooks on the other hand, has continued to climb up the chip count ladder and he has 230,000
