Cernuto Survives

Omaha Hi-Lo

John Cernuto raised from the button and was all in. John Racener made the call from the small blind and Garth Yettick called from the big blind.

Racener and Yettick checked the flop, turn and river on a final runout of A♥4♣J♣7♥2♥. Yettick had Q♠10♦10♣5♦ for a pair of tens. Racener had aces up and a seven-low with A♣J♥7♦5♣ while Cernuto had a better seven-low with 9♠9♦7♠3♦ to take half the pot.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Two hands later Cernuto raised from under the gun and was all in. Racener called from the cutoff, Yettick called from the button and Josh Arieh called from the big blind.

The three players who were not all in checked the flop and turn leading to a final runout of Q♠3♠7♥8♣4♦. Action checked around to Yettick who bet and got folds out of Racener and Arieh.

Yettick had 8♠5♥4♠2♣ for a seven-low with two pair but Cernuto had A♦K♣8♥7♣ for a better two pair to get half the pot and extend his tournament life.
