Hand #48

Phil Hellmuth had the button, and Minh Ly got a walk.

Hand #49

Owais Ahmed had the button, Brian Rast opened to 140,000 from under the gun and won the pot.

"And the next hand is pot-limit Omaha!" Rast joked after the hand.

Hand #50

Minh Ly had the button, George Lind opened to 125,000 from under the gun, and Ly called on the button. The flop came down {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades}, Lind checked, and Ly fired 150,000. Lind called.

The turn was the {10-Spades}, Lind checked, and Ly fired again - this time for 380,000. Lind moved all in, and Ly quickly called.

Lind: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Ly: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}

Only a queen or a ten would save Lind, but it was not to be as the {3-Clubs} came on the river.

At one point yesterday, Lind was down to just 17,000 chips, and roared back after a myriad of triples and doubles. He finishes in sixth place, and will receive $300,441 for his efforts.
