Straight for Pokhabov

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Dmitry Pokhabov raised from middle position and Ryan Laplante three-bet from the cutoff. Jeffrey Duvall called from the big blind along with Pokhabov to go three ways to a flop of {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. The action checked to Laplante who bet and Duvall check-raised. Both Pokhabov and Laplante called.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and the action checked around to the {j-Spades} on the river. Duvall led out this time and Pokhabov raised which forced Laplante out of the hand. Duvall called and when Pokhabov tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a king-high straight, Duvall mucked his hand.

Set of Sevens for Bell

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Hold'em

Katherine Fleck raised from under the gun and Chris Bell three-bet from the hijack. Richard West called from the big blind along with Fleck. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and the action checked to Bell who continued with a bet. West called while Fleck elected to fold.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and West check-called a bet from Bell one more time. The river brought the {7-Clubs} and West checked again. Bell tossed in a bet and West was left with just 900 chips. He thought for a brief moment and then pushed in his last few chips. Bell tabled {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a set while West could only muster {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} for ace-high.

West was eliminated and Fleck was left with just 2,500 chips after the hand as well. She would go on to be eliminated within the next couple of hands.
