Clifford Schinkoeth: 10♣8♥3♥2♦

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo
Leonid Yanovski raised to 20,000 and was called by Sergio Martinez in the hijack. Uzair Mulla, in the cutoff, then reraised to 92,000, leaving himself about 12,000 behind, and Yanovski folded.
Martinez, though, snap-called and went to turn over his hand before being told Mulla was not yet all in. The flop came 10♦9♣3♣ and they got the rest of the chips in the middle.
Uzair Mulla: A♣9♦4♦3♥
Sergio Martinez: A♦A♠8♠5♠
Mulla had taken the lead with two pair and also made a low on the 7♣ turn and 8♣ river.
"Scoop," he cried out as he doubled up.
"Scoopy-doo," tablemate Maksim Pisarenko added.
Big O
Heads-up on a board of 9♠2♥4♥K♣, Raj Vohra bet 155,000 from the button and Steve Foutty called in the cutoff.
The river came the 9♣ and Foutty checked over to Vohra, who slid forward a bet of 180,000 this time.
"You deserve it. Are you bluffing this time," Foutty asked as he began tanking for several minutes. Vohra continued to sit silently starring at the board.
"This isn't the face of someone who's bluffing. This is the face of someone who has it," Foutty added before he decided to call.
Vohra turned over K♠K♦8♦7♠4♦ for a full house and Foutty mucked.
Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo
Michael Cooper raised enough to put himself all in from late position and got called by the small blind and Sterling Savill in the big blind to all see a flop of 7♣5♦3♥.
The small blind checked to Savill who bet 45,000 and the big blind quickly folded, setting up a two card runout with Cooper at risk.
Michael Cooper: 7♥5♠3♠2♣
Sterling Savill: A♥8♠5♥2♥
The board ran out with a 7♦ turn and a 4♦ river, giving Savill the low and making a full house for Cooper to chop the pot.
Big O

Cary Aronson: A♣K♠K♦Q♠7♣
Ricky Moseley: A♦A♥K♥6♥6♦
Moseley had flopped top set and improved to a full house as the board ran out 6♣5♥. Aronson, who was contending for the tournament chip lead at one point today, tapped the felt and wished his tablemates good luck before heading for the exit.

Omaha Hi-Lo
Leonid Yanovski got involved in a pot just as the tournament clock reached dinner break. "I'll come back with my stack at the final table," Yanovski said, sitting behind the massive towers he has assembled.
Yanovski and Heiko Hinkelmann went to the river on a board of 5♦9♥2♠2♥3♣ when Hinkelmann bet, Yanovski raised on the button, and Hinkelmann reraised.
Yanovski then raised enough to put Hinkelmann all in, and Hinkelmann committed his last chips. Yanovski turned over A♦K♦6♣4♥ for a straight and a low, while Hinkelmann had A♣K♣Q♠4♦ for the same low as Yanovski took three-quarters.
