Two Scoops for George
Omaha-8
Five of the six Omaha-8 hands this round saw action all of the way to the river, with Christopher George scooping a couple of hands.
In one George raised the button then called a Brandon Wong three-bet from the small blind, then called Wong bets after both the 
flop and 
turn. Both checked the 
river, and when George showed 
for a high of aces and treys and no low, Wong mucked.
Another hand saw George and Wong checking down to the river as the board rolled out 
, then George betting and Wong calling on the end. George showed 
for a straight, and Wong mucked again.
The other highlight of the round was a blind-vs.-blind hand between Sebastian Saffari and Philip Sternheimer. After Saffari limped in from the SB and Sternhemier checked, Saffari then led at every street as the board came 
, then 
, then , and Sternheimer called each time.
Saffari: 
Sternheimer: 
Saffari had the high locked up with his seven-high straight, and the pair split the low as both had made a 6-5-4-3-A.
