Pot Limit Omaha:
Donnacha O'Dea raised to 16,000 from middle position and received three calls. The 
flop saw three checks to David "ODB" Baker on the button. He put out a bet of 50,000, which was enough to get Joe Couden to fold from the small blind. Mikal Blomlie then announced, "Pot," from the big, making it 214,000 total.
After O'Dea got out of the way, Baker stood up and asked how much Blomlie had back, which turned out to be 119,000. Baker thought for solid minute, cut out enough chips to put Blomlie all in, and then slid them into the pot. Blomlie called off and didn't like what he saw.
Blomlie: 
Baker: 
"Nice slow roll," Blomlie said, clearly frustrated. The rest of the table didn't seem to think that was the case, pointing out that a set of tens was the bottom of Baker's range in that spot. It didn't seem to console Blomlie as he watched the 
turn and 
river seal his fate.

McHugh completed to 15,000 after which O'Dea was his only caller. On fourth street McHugh bet 15,000 and O'Dea called. On fifth street the tables were turned and O'Dea lead out with the best board. McHugh called 30,000 and did the same on sixth street.
Seventh street was dealt down and both players checked. O'Dea showed 
and took down the pot with a jack-ten-seven-five-three low.

2-7 Triple Draw:
After being crippled by Joseph Couden, Stephen Su managed to double through Chris Viox. On the very next hand, action folded to David "ODB" Baker in the small blind and he raised, which Su called from the big blind.
Baker drew two and bet in the dark when he saw Su draw three, which the latter called. Baker then check-called a bet on the second draw where he took two cards and Su, who only had 5,000 remaining took one. The same draws occurred on the next pull and Baker led out. Su clearly did not make a big hand and was hesitant to commit, but seemed to know he had little choice.
Baker: 
Su: 
Su exited in 10th place while the remaining nine players are relocating to the feature table on the Pavilion Stage.

2-7 Triple Draw
We missed the pre draw action, but it seemed like Stephen Su had raised it up from the cutoff after which he called Joseph Couden's three-bet from the button. These two players were heads up as we went into the first draw.
Su drew two cards, Couden only needed one.
After the first draw Su check-called 15,000. On the second draw Su needed one card and Couden stood pat.
Su checked once more and Couden fired out 30,000. If Su would call two more streets and lose, he would be left with just 6,000 chips, and after giving it some time he ended up calling off another 30,000.
Both players stood pat on the last draw and after Su checked Couden immediately fired out another 30,000. Su seemed to be hoping Couden would check behind, but that didn't happen and Su folded his cards. He is now down to just one big bet.

Pot Limit Omaha:
After taking a hit and being left with 115,000, Rep Porter raised to 20,000 from the cutoff only to have Mikal Blomlie three-bet pot. Porter committed his remaining chips and the cards were turned on their backs:
Porter: 
Blomlie: 
Blomlie was ahead with kings and would stay there as the board ran out an uneventful 
. Porter exited in 11th place, good for $14,823.
