Omaha Hi-Lo 

On a flop of 9h3d2d, Dale Phillips checked from the small blind and Jacobo Fernandez checked from the big blind. Mike Soroka bet from the cutoff and Phillips called, all in for 10,000. Fernandez called as well.

The turn was the 8h and Fernandez checked. Soroka bet and Fernandez folded.

Soroka showed Ad6c4c3h, good for the nut low and a pair of threes. Phillips tabled AcKh6s5h, for a worse low and a straight draw. The river didn’t change anything and Soroka scooped both halves of the pot with the nut low and a pair.

Phillips hit the rail in ninth place, for $851 and the final eight players were all credited with making the final table.

Matt Axelrod

We continue to see a great group of players join in the H.O.R.S.E. with 81 entries clearly surpassing the 57 we had during the Poker Showdown in April.

“Miami John” Cernuto, David Levi, John Holley, Wally Maddah (pictured below) and Matt Axelrod (pictured above) are part of the crew with registration open for another 45 minutes.

Axelrod final tabled the H.O.R.S.E. event during Showdown with a third-place finish a week after finishing second in the Omaha8/Stud8 tournament. Maddah, a constant familiar face in our big events, played his first ever H.O.R.S.E. event last November during the Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open and went on to finish in fourth place out of 53 entries.

Phil Hui

We can already consider the H.O.R.S.E. tournament a success before the first hour is complete. We have 57 entries so far to put ten more in the game than this same event in April during the Poker Showdown.

Phil Hui could have been excused for max late registering the tournament after a long run yesterday. The WSOP bracelet winner (and four-time WSOP Circuit winner) opted to play the Omaha/8 event yesterday and opened his series with a nice cash after chopping heads-up with Peter Walsworth.

Hui continued his great summer run that included seven WSOP cashes, the last coming in their $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. tournament.
