Hennigen Quartered by Edengren

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Magnus Edengren was in the cutoff and he had a bet of 9,000 lying in front of him with the flop reading {4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Eli Elezra folded but John Hennigan stuck around, calling.

Hennigan slid in a tower of chips to cover Edengren's remaining belongings on the {7-Hearts} turn and Edengren didn't waste any time, calling right away.

John Hennigan: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Magnus Edengren: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}

Both players had the nut low but Edengren had better high with a pair of fours. The river was a {3-Clubs} and Edengren won the high half of the pot with a six-high straight. Hennigan ended up quartered and Edengren soared to 42,000.

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

On a flop of {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, Yan Shing Tsang checked in the big blind and face 6,000 from Tyler Meservy. Tsang shoved for 17,500 and Meservy muttered about how he was stuck and called.

Tsang had flopped the goods but the turn brought a {k-Diamonds} to give Meservy kings full. A {q-Clubs} river was a blank for Tsang so he's the final player to walk away empty-handed.
