During a round of Omaha Hi-Lo, after a flop of KcQs8s, both blinds checked, and Chris Labrie bet 10,000 from the cutoff. Ricardo Quintero check-raised to 20,000, and David Shmuel check-reraised to 30,000.

Labrie thought for a while before he folded, and Quintero reraised to 40,000, Shmuel reraised, and Quintero called all in for 42,000.

David Shmuel:  QhQc10c9h  (set of queens, gutshot straight draw)
Ricardo Quintero:  KdQd4c2h  (two pair, kings and queens)

The turn card was the 2d, the river card was the Jh, and with no possible lows, Shmuel won the entire pot with a king-high straight to eliminate Quintero in ninth place.

David Shmuel  –  402,000  (20 BB)
Ricardo Quintero  –  Eliminated
