Omaha Hi-Lo
Action folded to Michael Glick on the button and he put in a raise. The small blind folded and Minh Ly opted to defend from the big, which brought about a flop of . Ly checked, Glick bet and Ly woke up with a check-raise. Not to be outdone, Glick three-bet all in and Ly called.
Glick:
Ly:
It was a decent flop for Ly as he had top pair and a better low draw than Glick. The turn didn't change much, and neither did the river. Ly's pair of eights held for the high and his ace-four took the low.
With that, Glick was eliminated in ninth place and the final nine players combined to the unofficial final table.

A short-stacked Huck Seed moved all in for 223,000 from middle position and received a call from Matthew Ashton in the cutoff. The rest of the field folded and the cards were turned up.

Seed still had a 9.69% chance of catching a jack, but the turn saw that drop to 6.82%. The dealer burned one last time and put out the . Seed missed and became the 2013 WSOP $50,000 Poker Players' Championship 11th-place finisher.
