Pot-Limit Omaha
We arrived at the table in time to see Vanessa Selbst and Jonathan Duhamel looking down at a flop of 
. Selbst was in the small blind and fired out 2,000. Duhamel cut out a raise to what looked to be 10,600 after Selbst's original bet was pulled in .
The two headed to the turn and saw the 
hit the felt. Selbst checked and Duhamel fired 14,500. Selbst thought for about 45 seconds before moving out a raise to 68,700. Duhamel did not waste much time before quietly announcing that he was all in.
"Shit," sighed Selbst. Almost immediately after the word left her mouth she moved out a call.
Duhamel: 
Selbst: 
Both players had a straight but Duhamel's was higher with a straight to the eight. The river paired the board with the 
and Duhamel ended the hand with a winning sevens full of fives. Selbst was forced to ship a vast majority of her stack over to Duhamel and now sits on just 44,000 in chips. Duhamel, however, has soared to one of the top stacks in the room with about 290,000 in chips.
Selbst took to Twitter immediately after the hand:

We came upon a huge PLO hand brewing between Jason Mercier and Ralph Perry. They'd reached a 
flop and there was already a big pot developed with Perry having fired a bet into it. Mercier had raised all in with his entire stack, and after tanking quite some time Perry decided to call, thus building a total pot of more than 300,000.
Mercier had 
for top two pair while Perry had 
for aces. The turn was the and river the , and Mercier had suddenly scored a big double as they near the end of Level 2. Meanwhile, Perry will be going to the dinner break with less than 30,000.

As Michael Glick was being given the last minutes of a massage, he was playing a PLO hand against Erick Lindgren and had fired a bet of 11,000 on the turn with the board showing 
. Lindgren raised to 30,000, and after thinking for a while Glick called.
The river brought the , and as the massage therapist finished and stood waiting Glick bet 38,000. Lindgren thought for more than a minute before finally calling, at which point Glick tabled 
for a king-high straight. "Wow," said Lindgren as he mucked his cards.
Glick started to stack his chips, but it was time to pay the massage therapist. Discovering he had no bills on him, he asked the table if anyone had a twenty, and Lindgren quickly piped up.
"Should I pay?" Lindgren said grinning, and the table laughed.

| Greg Mueller |  /   / |
| Tom Schneider | /    / |
We picked up with the action on fourth street to see Greg Mueller make a pair of jacks and lead out with a bet. Tom Schneider called and watched as Mueller led out again on fifth. Schneider stuck around.
Mueller led out once again on sixth and tossed out a final bet blind on seventh. Schneider called the entire way but finally mucked his cards when Mueller fanned for aces and jacks. Mueller dragged in the pot and now has about 168,000 in chips. Schneider, on the other hand, has fallen to around 101,000.
