One of the players on top of the counts is Kate Hoang. Hoang is an Omaha Hi-Lo aficionado and finished 2nd in the $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo event back in 2016, good for a $182,281 payday. Hoang also made the final table last year in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo championship, finishing 8th for $44,738.

Today, Hoang was already up to 90,000 when she played a hand against Julien Martini. Hoang had opened in middle position and had called a three-bet from Martini from the big blind.

On a {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} board, Hoang called each street as Martini kept firing. Martini showed {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} for two pair, Hoang showed {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for a seven-six low and the two chopped the pot.
