OMGClayAiken ($39,289), Cole South ($103,736.50), Markus Golser ($79,647) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi. Also at the table was Urindanger ($73,852), patatino ($77,386) and applsgirl ($32,831). Durrr soon replaced OMGClayAiken sitting down with $40k.

The forth hand that I watched was a good one between applsgirl and Cole South. The flop of [5s 8c Th] seemed good for applsgirl who had  [Ac 8d Td Ad] Aces and tens and knowing that she also has one of the eights. Cole South had  [Jd 9d Js Qs] and applsgirl put pressure by going on after the flop. Cole South called and got a Q to hit the straight with the turn-river cards:  [Qc] [5d]. The pot was worth $61,259…soon after the hand applsgirl added $20k after going broke on the hand.

There were a couple other $20k-$40k hands but nothing too crazy happened. John Juanda joined the table which brought some life when a couple other players left. After about 40 hands the chip totals were:

• durrrr ($83,189)
• Markus Golser ($91,678)
• applsgirl ($38,598)
• John Juanda ($51,794)

Markus Golser ($189,166) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi against halfdozen999 ($67,194.50) at Full Tilt Poker.com. They played at the Barn which had 6 seats but they ended up just playing heads up with no other players joining the table.

The game had a lot of pre-flop folds but a couple hands were around $10-15k. One of the hands was a hand between the two with halfdozen999 holding [Qh Ks Kh Jd] and Markus Golser with [9s 7d Kd 3h] and the board showing [2d Js 5s Jh 5c]. halfdozen999 won the hand with three of a kind jacks and took the pot worth $16,799.50.

Another interesting hand during the play had a board showing [2s 7h 8h 5c] [Qs]. After the river card halfdozen999 bet $19,200 and right away Markus Golser threw out a raise to $38,400. Halfdozen999 called adding an additional $19,200 to the pot. They both showed their hands with Golser showing first [6s 9d Td 9c] and then halfdozen999 with [9s 6d 5s 8c]. Both of them had the nine high straight and split the nearly $100k pot.

The final hand between the two was the most exciting and had a pot worthy of a high stakes game. The hand started normally without a pre-flop bet and just a call from halfdozen999 in the small blind for $200 to enter the pot.  The flop was [9d 6h 2d] and both checked going to the turn which was a [3s]. Markus Golser bet $800 and was then raised to $3,200 (now we are getting somewhere) then Golser re-raises to $10,400. Halfdozen999 then thinks for a bit and what do you know…he re-re-raises to $32,000 which Markus Golser takes sometime but eventually makes the call. The final river card was an  [8s] and Markus Golser throws out a raise of $64,800 and halfdozen999 quickly calls with his last $41,190 and is all-in. Markus Golser then shows his hand [7c 4s Js 5c] and halfdozen999 see’s the nine high straight that was caught on the river and mucks the card and leaves the table. I am sure disgusted with the  results of the hand he probably had until the river 8. Markus Golser then rakes in the hand worth $147,180!

At the end Markus Golser ended up with ($256,350) while halfdozen999 lost his buy-in and left the table.

Trex313 ($31,991), Dustin Dirksen ($9,697),  toesanders ($27,349),  Pokalechy2 ($34,669) and Aeron73 ($7,000) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi at FullTiltPoker.com. They were all playing at multiple tables but I focused on this table because it had the highest hand average.

The largest hand of the table was when toesanders beat trex313 and Dustin Dirksen with 3 aces against trex313’s 3 eights and Dirksen mucked his hand.
