$250 Omaha 8B
Level 22: 6,000/12,000

Wayne Brown was the shortest of the four remaining and took a shot when it folded to him in the small blind. His raise was met by a third bet from Avi Levy and Brown capped it pre-flop with just one big bet behind.

Brown was all-in after the 9c7d4d flop and tabled AdKsKc2c but was in trouble against Levi’s AhAc9d2d. The 9s turn was no help and they both hit a low on the 8s. Brown survived but only picked up a quarter of the pot.
