RPO Event #18 Results!

Last night's week #18 RPO event has 6 players buy-in for a chance at our first "non-holdem" title. The game was Pot Limit Omaha Hi.

Play started fast as Matt took an early chip lead after winning a nice size pot from Trinity and Greg.

It didn't take long for the first player to go down. Sean and Greg got involved in a pot when the flop was 6 hi and Greg bet out. Sean re-raised all-in w/ only pocket 7's hoping for a fold from Greg. Greg was going know where because he held AAin the hole. The turn brough a 7 and Sean busted Greg w/ a set of 7's.

Play continued for alittle while until Sean, Jeff and Trinity saw a flop together. Trinity short-stacked pushes w/ Q's, Sean folds and Jeff calls. The turn brought Jeff the nut flush and sent Trinity to the rail in 5th place.

Four-handed play lasted only about 4 hands after Matt hits a set of Q's on the flop. However, Sean had a set of K's. Matt finished on the bubble in 4th place.

At this point, Sean held over a 2:1 chip lead over 2nd place Jeff. All three players decide to see a unraised flop and it come 444. Jeff checks, Brian bets 300 and Sean smooth calls holding quad 4's. Sean continued to let Brian lead the way as Brian was holding 4's over K's for a boat. After the river Brian pushes w/ his full house and Sean types "gg" and calls with quads. "GG" Brian for a 3rd place finish and $6.00.

Heads-up play started w/ Sean holding about a 3.8:1 lead over Jeff, who's been on fire lately in the RPO. Sean basically was raising pre-flop every hand because of his chip lead. Finally, Sean raises his typical to 360, Jeff re-raises and Sean goes all-in. Sean has QQ92 and Jeff has AKQ2. Jeff's A or K never hit. Jeff continues his nice run of cashes in the RPO for $9.

Sean wins his 4th RPO event for $15 and our first non-holdem event.

Sean moves to 3rd place in the standing while Matt drops to 4th. Brian and Jeff round out the top 2 spots.
