Omaha/Stud Update
Jul 02, '07
Levels 27 and 28 have come and gone and the remaining 23 players have just entered Level 29; Stud Hi.
During the most recent Omaha portion of the S.H.O.E. event, Raymond Davis got involved in a big pot with Susie Genard who ended up catching the wheel on the river and scooping the pot. Everyone folds to Raymond Davis who raises on the button and Susie Genard makes the call out of the small blind, followed by a call from the player in the big blind. The flop comes A
K
9
and everyone checks to Davis who bets. Gerard calls and the big blind folds. The turn brings the 5 and both players check around. The river brings the 2 and Genard bets out, getting a call from Davis. Genard turns over 4
3 Q Q for the wheel; she scoops the pot.
Surprisingly enough, it was the most recent Stud Hi/Lo portion of the event that was responsible for most of the eliminations during the last hour. Hooman Nikzad was eliminated in 26th place ($4,849) when his pair of fours failed to improve against his opponent’s pair fives after being forced all-in from the big blind. David Allison would be eliminated in 25th place ($4,849), followed by CardPlayer’s own Diego Cordovez in 24th place ($4,849). Cordovez was eliminated by Raymond Davis when his two pair ran into Davis’ trip fives, failing to improve on the river.
Chip Jett was having a tough time raking a full pot in the Omaha eight-or-better round this past hour, having to settle with a small profit from a few split pots. One of those pots, Jett called a raise from the small blind and saw a flop of 10 8 5. Jett checked to seat no. 4 who bet out, Jett calls. The turn brings the Q and once again, Jett checks to seat no. 4 who bets out. This time Jett raises and seat no. 4 makes the call. It wasn’t enough to get him off of the hand but it did slow him down quite a bit. The river brings the 6 and Jett bets out, getting a call from his opponent. Jett shows A J 10 9 for the nut straight while seat no. 4 turns over A Q 7 3 for the A-7 low. Jett has to settle for another split pot, but even a nominal profit is better than any loss.
