Level 16 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Richard Chase opened from the cutoff, Scott Bohlman raised from the small blind, and Chase called.

On the {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop, Bohlman bet and Chase called.

Bohlman bet again on the {3-Diamonds} turn and Chase raised all in for 3,000 more which was called.

Chase: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Bohlman: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

Bohlman immediately turned over his cards and showed a pair of fives with the nut low. Chase took his time before he casually showed a straight and also the nut low.

The river was the {K-Clubs} and Chase quartered Bohlman.

Mueller Down and Then Out

Level 16 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Greg Mueller
Greg Mueller

Stud Hi-Lo

Greg Mueller has been eliminated in 27th place.

The first hand that left Mueller with just 6,000 was when he had trip sixes against Ted Woolridge whose board read {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} / {Q-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} / {4-Diamonds}.

After anteing and being left with less then a complete, Mueller raised all in after a Woolridge bring-in. David Bach raised to 12,000 and Woolridge called. Bach fired out bets on fourth, fifth, and sixth streets with Woolridge calling down until he folded sixth.

Woolridge: {X-}{X-} / {3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Mueller: {X-}{X-} / {9-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} / {X-}
Bach: {X-}{X-} / {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts} / {X-}

Heading into seventh street, Mueller revealed hid {10-Clubs}{7-Spades} to be trailing Bach's {J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

Mueller would need any diamond to stay alive, but unfortunately he squeezed the {J-Clubs} and was consequently eliminated.
