Lappas Leaps Up, Gomes Gone After Huge Pot

We've just had a major chip swing �� and a sudden, surprising elimination �� over on Table 427. Such is the way of PLO8.

Following a flop of {10-}{7-}{2-}, Alex Gomes and Charalampos Lappas managed to bet enough to put all of Gomes's chips in the middle and most of Lappas's. Gomes held {Q-}{J-}{10-}{7-} for top two pair while Lappas had {A-}{A-}{9-}{3-} for aces and the nut low draw.

The turn brought a {3-}, and Gomes was still good as far the high hand went, and Lappas had yet to make a low. Then a {2-} fell on the river, pairing the board to give Lappas the best high hand and all of Gomes's stack.
