James Opie Elminated in 20th Place ($5,850)

Level 22
James Opie
James Opie

Omaha Hi-Lo

James opened from late position and was called by Andrew Zhigalov in the big blind. The flop came {4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Opie bet, Zhigalov check-raised enough to put his opponent all in. Opie made the call and the players then flipped over their hands.

Andrey Zhigalov : {a-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
James Opie: {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}

The turn came the {q-Spades} and the river fell the {5-Clubs}. Zhigalov took three-quarters of the pot and Opie was left short.

The very next hand Opie would be all in preflop, getting called by Matt Woodward and Andrey Zhigalov. Players would check until the river where Zhigalov would get a bet in and a call from Woodward. Zhigalov would table the best hand at showdown, eliminating Opie and scooping in the side pot.
