Event #31: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha

Zimnan Ziyard limped the small blind and Adam Junglen checked his option.

The       board was checked through to the river until Ziyard pushed out a 32,000-chip bet. Junglen made the call, and when he tabled his     , he collected the pot.

Brock Parker has been mostly quiet so far at the final table. He's played the fewest hands at this point. Just after break he played three hands in a row, the most meaningful was the third.

Christian Harder opened for 55,000, Warren Fund called and Parker moved all in for 229,000. Action folded back around to Harder and he folded, but Fund called.

Fund:        
Parker:        

Board:          

Parker's kings held and Fund shipped 229,000 chips to Parker.

A fresh round of chip counts for your pleasure.

Christian Harder	1,450,000	-70,000
Ben Lamb	925,000	-125,000
Adam Junglen	920,000	-90,000
Warren Fund	780,000	488,000
Sam Stein	650,000	185,000
Zimnan Ziyard	600,000	140,000
Austin Scott	500,000	-110,000
Brock Parker	250,000	-120,000

Austin Scott opened the cutoff to 40,000 only to have Dilyan Kovachev announce a raise of pot and move virtually all of his 150,000-chip stack into the pot. Scott raised and Kovachev made the call for his tournament life.

Kovachev:     
Scott:     

The board was spread       to see Scott make a flush to send Kovachev to the rail in 9th place as he moved up to 610,000 in chips.

Within three hands, Dilyan Kovachev has pushed in a pot-sized preflop raise of 70,000 to pick up the blinds.

His stack now sits at roughly 180,000.

Warren Fund limped the small blind and Brock Parker checked his option to see a     flop fall. Fund fired out 25,000 which Parker called as the   landed on the turn.

Fund checked, and once Parker reached for chips, Fund quickly folded.

Ben Lamb opened for 32,000, Adam Junglen called, Austin Scott called from the button and Christian Harder called from the big blind. The flop came       and Harder led out with 76,000. Lamb called and both Junglen and Scott folded. The turn came   and Harder bet out 200,000. Lamb called relatively quickly for a sizable bet. The river came   and Harder slid out 450,000.

Lamb leaned forward in his chair and went deep into the tank. He spent at least five full minutes without acting. Finally he folded and the crowd called for Harder to show the bluff, and Harder flipped his cards over and showed the he had nothing and collected a large pot.

Ben Lamb	1,700,000	-305,000
Christian Harder	1,480,000	230,000

Ben Lamb opened with a preflop raise which was called by Warren Fund in the big blind.

Lamb continued for 49,000 on the     flop and Fund quickly threw his cards into the muck.

Warren Fund opened to 42,000 and found a call from Ben Lamb. The flop came       and both players checked. The   came on the turn, Fund checked and Lamb bet out 64,000. Fund gave Lamb a stone faced stare and Lamb smiled at him. Fund couldn't hold his poker face and broke into a big toothy smile himself. With a chuckle Fund folded and Lamb picked up the pot.
