Omaha Hi Lo

Action folded to Marco Johnson in middle position who put out two bets. Action then folded to Dzmitry Urbanovich on the button who put in the three-bet. The blinds folded and Johnson made the call.

The A♠3♦J♦ flop landed and Johnson check-called a bet from Urbanovich. The J♥ landed on the turn and action checked through.

The river brought a Q♣ and Johnson now led. Urbanovich thought it over for a moment and finally landed on a call.

Johnson tabled K♦K♥J♣10♣ for a rivered straight on a sketchy paired board. Urbanovich mucked and Johnson got some thin value on the river.

Limit Hold'em

Daniel Alaei raised and Chris Brewer made it three bets out of the small blind for Alaei to call. On the 8♦7♥6♥ flop, Brewer check-called and did so again on the K♠ turn. Brewer than checked the 5♣ river and Alaei bet to force a fold, leaving Brewer with just over one full bet.

One hand later, chip leader James Obst raised from under the gun and he then called a three-bet by Dan Cates in the next seat. On the 10♣3♥2♦ flop, Obst check-called a bet and eyeballed the stack size of Cates carefully. Obst checked again the 5♥ turn for Cates to bet who had fewer than a bet behind.

Obst glanced over, check-raised and a robotic "all-in" declaration of the Tournamentinator followed.

Dan Cates: 10♥10♠
James Obst: A♣Q♣

Obst needed a four to score the knockout but the 6♣ river ensured the double for Cates.

Daniel Alaei: 8♠6♥/4♠6♦8♦J♦/K♠

A short-stacked Chris Brewer completed on third street and got called by Daniel Alaei. Brewer then got his final chips in on fourth with Alaei calling.

Brewer's aces were ahead of Alaei's sixes, but a second pair of eights on fifth street gave Alaei the advantage.

Brewer couldn't improve his aces and he was sent to the rail, where he'll likely return to enjoying his $250,000 Super High-Roller victory and the more than $5,000,000 that came with it from Sunday.
