Omaha

Okay... here's that big hand we were alluding to that occurred just before the break -- a three-way all-in hand in the PLO round. On a flop of {K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, George Boyce raised pot, Alfredo Vega reraised all in, Bjorn Verbakel called with the rest of his stack, and Boyce called as well. (Vega had Boyce covered.)

Vega {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} -- top set
Verbakel {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades} -- a Broadway wrap
Boyce {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades} -- a smaller wrap draw

Ah, Omaha. Gotta love it.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and the river the {3-Hearts}. Thanks to that river trey, Boyce wins the hand with his seven-high straight. He's now up to 180,000. Vega tumbles to 57,000. And Verbakel is out.

Rob Hollink also was eliminated at the same time at another table -- not sure at the moment who is 32nd and who is 33rd, but both are paid the same: $6,293. We'll sort out the places momentarily.
