Bahram Kianfar is all in preflop against Jeff Duvall. Kianfar has Kd-9c-4s-2c, while Duvall has Ah-Kc-7d-5c. The flop comes As-Kh-9s, and while both players make two pair, Duvall has him dominated with aces and kings against kings and nines. The turn card is the Qc, and Kianfar needs to catch a nine to stay alive. The river card is the 7s, and Bahram Kianfar is eliminated in fourth place, earning $67,525.
Poels Continues to Dominate
Posted: Tue, Jun 07, 05, 7:09 PM
Poels raises to $20,000 preflop, and Kianfar calls. The flop comes Ks-Js-3d, Kianfar bets $10,000, Poels raises to $20,000, and Kianfar calls. The turn card is the Kh, Kianfar checks, Poels bets $20,000, and Kianfar calls. The river card is the 2h, Kianfar checks, Poels bets $20,000, and Kianfar calls. With no possible lows on the board, Poels shows Ah-Kc-Jh-8h for a full house (kings full of jacks). Kianfar shows one card -- the king of diamonds -- before folding his hand.
After that hand, here are the approximate chip counts:
1. Pat Poels - $575,000 (seat 10)
2. Jeff Duvall - $280,000 (seat 4)
3. John Lukas - $100,000 (seat 3)

The Action Heats Up Among the Final Four Players
Posted: Tue, Jun 07, 05, 6:41 PM
Down to four players, the action has heated up here at the final table of Event #5 ($1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo Split). Chips are changing hands much more frequently, with fewer chopped pots.
Duvall bets the entire way on a board of Kd-9c-6s-Js-Jc, and Poels calls everything but the river, when he folds. Duvall shows one card -- a jack -- and takes a nice pot.
A few minutes later, Lukas raises to $20,000 preflop, and Kianfar calls. The flop comes 10s-9c-9h, Kianfar checks, Lukas bets $10,000, and Kianfar calls. The turn card is the 5s, Kianfar checks, Lukas bets $20,000, Kianfar raises to $40,000, and Lukas folds.

Dan Heimiller Eliminated in 5th Place ($57,875)
Posted: Tue, Jun 07, 05, 6:17 PM
Dan Heimiller is all in with Kh-8s-3h-2c against Lukas and Kianfar, but the board of Ks-7s-5h-4c-10h isn't enough to save him as Lukas and Kianfar chop him up. Dan Heimiller is eliminated in fifth place, earning $57,875.
"Minneapolis" Jim Meehan Eliminated in 6th Place ($48,230)
Posted: Tue, Jun 07, 05, 6:13 PM
With the board showing 8c-4d-3c-3h on the turn, Meehan is all in against Duvall. Meehan has Ah-Qh-7c-4h (A-7 low) while Duvall has 10c-8h-3s-2h (full house for high, drawing for a low). The river card is an ace, and that Duvall a better low hand with 8-4-3-2-A compared to Meehan's 8-7-4-3-A. That low hand, combined with his full house, scoops the pot for Duvall. "Minneapolis" Jim Meehan is eliminated in sixth place, earning $48,230.
Dan Heimiller and Jim Meehan in Jeopardy
Posted: Tue, Jun 07, 05, 6:05 PM
Heimiller raises to $20,000 preflop, and Kianfar calls. The flop comes Ks-10d-2c, Heimiller bets $10,000, Kianfor raises to $20,000, and Heimiller thinks for a while before folding. That loss takes Heimiller down to $40,000, with Meehan only slightly better at $45,000. With blinds of $5,000-$10,000, they are trying to outlast each other as they try to outlast the blinds.
The next player eliminated will earn $48,230 for sixth place, while fifth place pays $57,875.
