    $45,000 PRIZE POOL
    90 ENTRIES

    David Flores Scoops a


    $500 Omaha Hi-Lo Victory
    Ninety players ponied up $500 to try and take down this second Omaha Hi-Lo event of
    Winnin ‘O’ the Green. The final table was set at 1:30 am in the middle of Level 11 with
    blinds of 1,000/2,000. The 45-minute rounds for this event keep plenty of play available
    to the players.
    The first elimination came on hand #7 when poker pro Danny Morgan was all-in on the
    river with A-Q-7-6 against Dan Halpern’s A-A-2-9. The board was 5d-3-Kd-10-5 and
    Halpern’s Aces Up scoops the pot with no low available. Danny Morgan finished in 9th
    place and earned $900.
    On hand #16, three-way action yielded a board of Kh-4c-2s-4h-4d and Milton Giron
    was all-in on the turn with A-2-3-5. David Flores folded after the turn and Jennifer
    Bankston held the case 4 and showed down quad 4’s. Milton Giron of Santa Fe Springs
    finished in 8th place and earned $1,125.
    Steve Badger found himself on the rail for one round and he let the F-bomb slip. He
    returned on hand #37 and won his first pot making up for the last round of blinds he lost
    during his penalty.
    On hand #40, Brandon Hoss was all-in on the river with A-4-5-9 against Jennifer
    Bankston’s A-3-7-Q. Jennifer’s dissimilar cards were to prove invaluable. The board
    was A-J-7-6-5 and Jennifer’s 7 made a better Aces Up for the high and her live 3 made a
    better low. Jennifer scoops another pot and Brandon Hoss was eliminated in 7th place and
    earned $1,575.
    Just two hands later, after the blinds have increased to 2,000/4,000 (Level 13), Don
    Halpern found himself all-in on the river against chip leader David Flores. David showed
    A-5-9-10 and Don revealed his 2-3-K-K. The board was Q-5-3-10-4 and neither player
    had a low. David’s two pair (5’s & 10’s) bested Don’s pair of Kings and Don Halpern
    collected $2,025 for his 6th place finish. David increases his chip lead again.
    As hand #52 unfolded, David Flores was willing to take on another short stack. Lap
    Wan was all-in on the river with A-4-5-6 over David’s K-Q-J-5. The flop was all David
    with K-10-5. The turn As gave David the broadway straight and Lap was drawing thin
    with his two pair. The river was neither an Ace nor a 5 (I actually couldn’t make out
    what it was) and David Flores busted out another. Lap Wan finished in 5th place and
    received $2,475 of the prize pool.
    It was a long stretch of 24 more hands before the next elimination. On hand #76, Nobuo
    Hamamoto, in his second final table appearance, short stacked and all-in with Q-Q-9-2
    was against Steve Badger with A-K-J-9. The board was J-9-3-8-6 and Steve flopped top
    two-pair while Nobuo could not catch up. Both players had high-only hands so there was
    no low. Nobuo Hamamoto was eliminated in 4th place and earned $3,150.
    The field had narrowed to the final 3 players. Jennifer was the shortest stack but it was
    going to be anybody’s game to win. Once three-handed, a majority of the hands were
    played to the river. On hand #89, Steve Badger was all-in against Jennifer Bankston.
    Steve showed J-10-10-6 and Jennifer had A-3-Q-Q. The board was A-9-7-5-2 and
    Jennifer scoops with a pair of Aces for the high and a live 3 for the low. Steve finished in
    3rd place and earned $5,400.
    Heads up play commenced with David Flores having a 4+:1 chip lead over Jennifer.
    They played it out for about 6 hands and David offered a deal to end it and Jennifer
    seeing the uphill battle ahead after losing a couple of pots and half of her chips agreed.
    Both players congratulated each other and David Flores was declared the winner and
    Jennifer was the runner-up.
