Level 22 : Limits 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Brian Yoon three-bet in the cutoff and Scott Seiver called to see the J♠J♣10♥ flop.

Yoon continued with a bet and Seiver called, then called again on the 6♣ turn.

The river came the 5♣ and Seiver once more check-called a bet from Yoon, who turned over A♣Q♣5♠3♦ for a flush.

"This has been one of the wildest days of poker I've had in my life. Running clubs and I have two blockers" Seiver lamented as he studied the board for a moment, mucking what he claimed was a king-high flush.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Three-handed on a flop of 8♥5♥8♠, Carol Fuchs bet from the hijack and was called by Christopher Claassen on the button and Scott Seiver under the gun.

The turn came the 6♦ and Claassen now bet. Both opponents called and all three checked the 10♣ river.

Seiver had K♥K♦ for the high, Claassen showed A♠2♠ for the nut low, and Fuchs was left watching her chips split up between her opponents.

A few hands later, Fuchs was facing a three-bet by Alex Livingston from the hijack.

"You and me," she said to Livingston as she called. Livingston bet on the 6♣Q♦6♠ flop and Fuchs called.

Fuchs also called on the 10♣ turn, but folded when Livingston bet again on the Q♥ river.
