Ryan Leng
Ryan Leng

Pot-Limit Omaha

The action was picked up when all the chips were in the middle on the turn on the board of {5-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

Ryan Leng was at risk for his tournament life and the cards were flipped up.

Ryan Leng: {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Both players had a straight but Leng had a bigger straight and needed to avoid a heart on the river which was the {q-Diamonds}, improving him to a full house, and no help to his opponent as Leng scooped the pot for the nice double up.

"If you don't gamble, you don't win," Donnie Phan said as he called an opponent's all in bet of around 60,000.

All-In Player: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Donnie Phan: {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Phan's two sevens stayed behind his opponent's two nines by the turn on a board of {3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. "Ten," Phan pleaded, and the dealer turned over the {10-Diamonds} to give him the pot with a pair of tens.

Pot-Limit Omaha

An opponent raised pre-flop to around 30,000 before Thomas Zanot re-raised to 110,000.

"If I win this hand I'll be chip leader," Zanot said. His opponent eventually folded, sending the pot to Zanot as he stacked up 330,000.

"A lot of cashes this series. Drinking a lot of Miller Lites and cashing every event," Zanot said as he's now contending for the tournament chip lead and another cash to add to the seven he already has.
