Day: 2
I caught the Omaha action on the turn in a hand with Joe Beevers and Neal Friets. It looked likes this:
Judah bet and everyone called
At this point I heard Judah very quietly say a swear word under his breath.
He puts his last few chips in, Friets calls and Beevers mucks.
Judah worries over a paired board were for naught as he turned over
For the nut flush and Friets mucks his hand.

Jimmy Fricke has just won a 10,000 pot from Matthew Hankins. He raises Under the gun and Hankins in the Big Blind reraises, Fricke calls with
Hankins bets, Fricke calls.
Hankins bets, Fricke reraises, Hankins calls
Hankins bets, Fricke reraises. Hankins goes into the tank for a very long time and reluctantly folds, clearly mucking a decent flush.
Fricke shows for a full house and Hankins must be feeling a little better for the laydown.

Townsend is not a noted tournament player but obviously his cash skills speak for themselves. Greenstein is proven in both disciplines but of course he didn't turn up yesterday so it is a nicely poised challenge.
