Stud Games: 100 Ante, 200 Bring-In, 500 Completion 500-1,000 Limits

Pot-Limit Omaha

Jon Kyte raised to 1,000 from the small blind after some limps. Vanessa Selbst called from the big blind, Scott Seiver came along from under the gun, as did Michael Rocco in the hijack.

On the Q♦8♠5♦ flop, the action checked to Seiver who bet 2,000 and only Kyte called.

The turn was the A♣. Kyte led from the small blind for 4,000 and Seiver quickly called.

The 4♠ fell on the river and the action checked through quickly.

Kyte announced ace-five for two pair which was no good against the Q♥J♦8♥8♣ of Seiver who raked in a modest pot early in the day.

"I almost value bet," claimed Kyte.

Scott Seiver	71,000 11,000	11,000

Omaha Hi-Lo

Dario Alioto opened on the button and was called by Yehuda Buchalter in the small blind.

Buchalter checked the 9♠K♥3♥ flop, making the call after Alioto continued with a bet. The 4♠ turn saw Buchalter check-call again, with the dealer revealing the 4♥ river.

That produced a lead from Buchalter, with Alioto taking some time before making the fold.
