Omaha Hi-Lo

Owais Ahmed opened from the cutoff, Andrew Kelsall called all in on the button, Yuebin Guo raised from the small blind and Ahmed called.

On the {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, Guo check-called Ahmed's bet.

Both players checked the {6-Diamonds} turn.

On the {9-Clubs} river, Guo led out and Ahmed called.

Guo turned over {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for a pair of jacks and the nut low. Kelsall showed {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} for ace-high and also the nut low. Ahmed revealed {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{6-Spades} for a pair of aces which were good for the high half of the both pots. Guo got half of the side pot and a quarter of the main pot while Kelsall also got a quarter of the main pot and was reduced to 6,500 in chips.

The next hand, Kelsall raised all in from the cutoff, Phillip Wallace called from the small blind, Albert Daher re-raised from the big blind and Wallace called.

Wallace check-called Daher's bets on both the {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop and {5-Clubs} turn.

On the {Q-Diamonds} river, Wallace checked again but folded to Daher's bet.

Daher showed {Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} for a straight and a seven low. Kelsall turned over {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of eights and an eight low and was eliminated.

Sternheimer Eliminated by Mueller

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

The action was caught on fourth. Mueller bet. Sternheimer called.

Both players checked fifth before Mueller bet on sixth. Sternheimer called.

Mueller: {x-}{x-} / {4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs} / {x-}
Sternheimer: {x-}{x-} / {6-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} / {x-}

Mueller then bet dark on seventh, which was enough to put Sternheimer all in. Sternheimer tanked for over a minute then committed the last of his chips.

Mueller announced he had "three threes" before revealing {3-Spades}{a-Spades}{a-Clubs} for a full house. Sternheimer also showed his {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{q-Spades} before making his way to the rail.

Wong Climbing

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Hold'em

Jerry Wong limped the cutoff and Jason Mercier raised the small blind to 12,000. Paul Volpe called in the big and Wong came along also.

Mercier bet 6,000 on the {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop and Volpe dropped out as Wong called.

The turn of the {7-Clubs} saw a check from Mercier before Wong bet 12,000. Mercier called and, when the river landed the {3-Clubs}, he check-called a 12,000-chip bet from Wong.

Wong tabled his {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for top pair and Mercier mucked. Wong is now closing in on 500,000 in chips while Mercier tumbles down to 340,000.

Lee Finishes Off Sexton

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Mike Sexton
Mike Sexton

Stud Hi-Lo

Mack Lee: {8-Hearts}{5-Spades} / {2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{A-Spades}{A-Clubs} / {X-}
Craig Chait: {X-}{X-} / {2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{K-Diamonds} fold
Mike Sexton: {8-Clubs}{6-Spades} / {5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades} / {X-}

On fifth street, Lee bet, Chait called, Sexton raised all in for 500 more, Lee attempted to raise but was not allowed to, and he and Chait called.

On sixth street, Lee bet and Chait folded.

Lee showed a pair of aces with an eight-five low and was ahead of Sexton's pair of eights, open-ended straight draw and inferior eight low draw.

Lee turned over his last card which was the {10-Hearts} and changed nothing for him, so Sexton needed to pair up or make a straight to survive. However, Sexton turned over the {J-Diamonds} and was eliminated.

Benny Glaser open-completed and Yuebin Guo raised to 12,000. Phillip Wallace called, as did Glaser. Wallace bet fourth and Glaser moved all in for his last 10,000 with Guo and Wallace calling.

Glaser tabled his {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for a worse pair and worse low and was consequently eliminated from the tournament.
