Boutin Knows Omaha
Burt Boutin knows a few things about Omaha, having won a bracelet in the $5,000 rebuy pot-limit Omaha event last year. He was off to a good start today, raising to 350 and getting one caller preflop. The flop came 542 and Boutin fired out 600 and was again called by his opponent. Both players checked the 6 turn, but when Boutin bet 1,500 on the 9 river his opponent mucked.
Williams Tripples Fast
Clonie Gowen raised to 300 from early position and got 4 calls - seat 7, Rolf Slotboom, Steve Hudak and David Williams on the big blind. The flop was K52 and action checked around. The turn was the 3, Hudak checked and Williams led out for a pot-sized 1,500. Gowen mucked, seat 7 called and Hudak moved all in for 950 more. Williams and seat 7 called. Williams showed A7J9 for the nut flush draw and Judak and seat 7 both had A-4 for the wheel. The river was the 6, giving Williams the nut flush and scooping a big pot of close to 10,000.
Fricke With the Early KO
Players are getting all in and rebuying left and right. Jimmy Fricke called an opponent's all in not five minutes into the level. The board was J-4-3-10-8 and Fricke showed A-Q-9-7 for a straight. His opponent mucked and racked up his first rebuy.
Brenes Leds Medic Have One
Humberto Brenes limped under the gun and Nenad Medic raised to 250 from the small blind. Andrew Black and Brenes called. After the dealer layed out the flop, a floorman approached to inform the table that the blinds were in fact 50-100 and not 25-50, which were the blinds that the players had posted in the hand. Black started to tell the dealer not to guess and Medic led out for 1,000 on the flop of A95 and was called by Brenes. The turn was the 2 and Medic led out for another 1,500. Brenes called again but then folded to Medic's all in push when the 9 fell on the river.
I Am The Wahlroos
Thomas Wahlroos raised from early position to 350 only to have the player on his left reraise to 1,000. Action folded back around to Wahlroos who made the call, checking the flop of Q62. His opponent bet 2,000 and Wahlroos check-raised all in. His opponent called and they showed their hands. Wahlroos had 8674. His opponent held KKA6. The turn was the 7 giving Wahlroos two pair and the river was the 10, improving neither player and giving the pot to Wahlroos for a double up.
