Nice Scoop For Awad

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Under the gun Levon Torosyan opened with a raise and action folded around to the big blind where Hani Awad called.

The flop was {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and both players checked to the {8-Spades} turn. There, Awad led out with a bet and Torosyan called.

The river was the {7-Spades} and Awad bet again. Torosyan thought for a bit, then called but shook his head and mucked when Awad showed down his {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for a flush and a low. Awad scooped the pot and Torosyan dropped to under 200,000 chips.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Action folded to the hijack seat where Delmiro Toledo made it two bets. Only big blind William Shelton called.

The flop was {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Shelton bet. Toledo made it two bets. Shelton made it three bets and Toledo moved all in for the rest of his chips. Shelton called.

William Shelton: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Delmiro Toledo: {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The turn was the {Q-Clubs} which gave Toledo some extra outs but the river was the {5-Clubs} which was a blank to send Toledo to the rail in 14th place. For his run, Toledo will collect $8,586.

Toledo Clipped on the First Hand of Stud Hi-Lo

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

Carl Restifo completed with the {6-Diamonds} and Ian Shaw made it two bets with the {A-Hearts}. Delmiro Toledo made it three bets with the {6-Clubs} and both of his opponents called.

Carl Restifo: {x-}{x-}/{6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{A-Spades}{J-Spades}/{x-}
Delmiro Toledo: {x-}{x-}/{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}/{x-}
Ian Shaw: {x-}{x-}/{A-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts} — Folded on fifth

On fourth street, Shaw checked and Toledo bet. Restifo called as did shaw. On fifth street, Restifo took the first to act and bet. Only Toledo called. On sixth street, both players checked.

On seventh, Restifo checked. Toledo bet and Restifo called. Toledo showed {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for two pair, but Restifo had aces up with his {A-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} and that earned him the pot putting Toledo on an extremely short stack.

Toledo would triple up the next hand when his pair of eights held up to scoop him a pot.

Omaha Hi-Lo

On the first hand of Day 3 at Table 1, Jeffrey Mitseff raised from under the gun. Daniel Ospina three-bet from the cutoff, Eric Rodawig four-bet from the button, Mitseff called and Ospina called.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Mitseff led out. Ospina called, Rodawig raised, Mitseff reraised and Ospina folded. Rodawig reraised and Mitseff committed his remaining chips.

Rodawig tabled {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for aces with a wrap, while Mitseff showed {A-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for a slightly bigger wrap but no high hand yet.

"Pair the board," said Rodawig, and his request came through as the {K-Hearts} turn and {K-Clubs} eliminated Mitseff in 15th place.

Violette, Awad, Taylor, Rodawig, and Ospina Seek a Second Bracelet on the Final Day of Event #46

Cyndy Violette

Only 15 remain in Event #46: $2,500 Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better/Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better and one-third of the remaining players are all bracelet holders. Among them are Cyndy Violette, Hani Awad, Eric Rodawig, Brendan Taylor and Daniel Ospina. Each of them is looking to add a multiple bracelet to their resume while the rest of their field seeks their first.

Violette is seeking her first bracelet since 2004 when she won the $2,000 seven-card stud high-low split for $135,900. Violette has a storied career at the WSOP dating back to 1987 where she notched her first cash in a ladies event. Today she could break the $1 million mark in WSOP earning with a finish of third or better in this event.

Hani Awad is looking for his second Omaha Hi-Lo/Stud Hi-Lo bracelet as he won this very same event back in 2016. Brendan Taylor is looking to add to an impressive World Series of Poker resume already. Making the final table of this event would put him up to eight over the course of his WSOP tenure. Eric Rodawig is also looking to add his second bracelet after winning Event #33: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship in 2011. Last year, Rodawig came 2nd in Event #30: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship, just narrowly missing out on his second bracelet, but he'll look for redemption and another chance for that second bracelet today.

Daniel Ospina earned his first bracelet earlier this summer in Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw. This event marks his third cash of the series and he'll look to become the first multiple bracelet winner this summer. Ospina sits with the third largest stack coming into the day and with another strong finish he could put himself in contention for Player of the Year.

Action resumes a 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 26th and kicks back off in level 21 with limits of 12,000 and 24,000. The plan is to play down to a winner and with just 15 players left in the tournament, this goal is likely to be reached. Currently, the remaining 15 placers are all guaranteed a payout of at least $7,074 for 15th place, but of course what they are all aiming for is the first place prize of $214,291. PokerNews will be here with coverage of this event from start to finish, so don't miss a thing.
