John Holley: K♠Q♥J♦8♦ All in
Chino Rheem: 7♣5♥5♣2♣ All in
Peter De Best: A♣K♥9♠2♠

The river came a meaningless J♥, improving Rheem to a full house to take the high. Holley's nut low took the other half, and Holley was eliminated.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Esther Taylor was all in from the big blind as Dzmitry Urbanovich in the small blind and Austin Srur on the button went to a flop of 5♥2♣3♥ with around 50,000 in the pot.

Taylor allowed the players not in the hand to sweat out her cards as Urbanovich led out with a bet. Srur called, and the turn was the K♣.

Urbanovich checked to Srur, then folded to a bet. Srur turned over A♠10♥6♥4♥ for a flopped straight, while Taylor had A♣7♣4♠3♣. The 6♣ river gave Taylor the nut flush, while they had the same low as Taylor took three-quarters.

"Good sweat, boys," Taylor said.

Cary Katz: XxXx/3♣7♦J♣ - folded on fifth street

Matt Vengrin completed, James Obst two-bet, and Wataru Kosugi and Cary Katz called cold. Vengrin then folded, seeing Obst bet on fourth street. Kosugi and Katz both called to fifth street, which they checked to Obst.

Obst kept firing, folding out Katz. Kosugi called again, however, and called Obst's bets on sixth and seventh street as well to reach showdown.

Obst showed a pair of queens, but it was outclassed by Kosugi's flush to lose the sizable pot.

The trio then all took one card, and the action checked to Germaine afterward. He bet, seeing both opponents call. On the final draw, Volpe and Mor still took one card each. Germaine remained pat, and he bet his last 500 after the draw.

Volpe check-folded, but Mor could not resist the pot odds and check-called. Germaine showed 7x6x4x3x2x, leagues ahead of Mor's Jx7x6x5x2x to take the pot.
