Ed Betlow
Playing Omaha/8:
Lonnie Heimowitz raised all-in pre-flop, getting his last 35,000 in the pot. Ed Betlow called from the small blind and Wink Winkelvoss called the extra 5,000 in the dark from the big blind.
The flop fell 
and Ed led out for 30,000. Wink asked what he had left, (45,000) and raised. Ed put in his last chips on the three-bet and Wink called. All the hands were tabled:
Ed: 
Wink: 
Lonnie: 
Wink had flopped the straight and a nice low and it looked like he was headed for a double-elimination, but the last two cards came 
giving Lonnie a bigger straight. Wink scooped the side pot and took the low half of the main. He’s up to ~685,000. Lonnie survived elimination, taking the high-half of the main pot (about 60,000).
Ed Betlow was eliminated in 8th place, earning $934.

Bob Camano
Playing Stud/8:
The increasing limits are putting pressure on the short-stacks to get their chips in and it was time for Bob Camano to do just that.
He was all-in on 5th street, but Scott Byron already had a pair of Jacks and caught a second pair on 6th. Bob whiffed and was eliminated in 9th place, earning $778. He was the chip leader at the start of the day, but just never got any traction.
Scott’s stacking close to 400,000. Wink Winkelvoss is still the chip leader with more than 600,000. Between the two of them, they’ve got half the chips in play with eight players remaining.

Jay Quintana
Playing Stud/8:
Jay Quintana was all-in on 3rd street against Mike Gabarick and Ed Betlow, who battled in the side pot to sixth street:
Jay: 
Mike: 
Ed: 
When Ed bet his scary open-ended straight and 2nd-nut-low draws on sixth, Mike gave it some thought, then mucked his hand, later saying he had a made-low, but Ed’s board was too scary.
Ed tabled 
for two pair, but no straight and no low. Jay had 
in the hole for a pair of Queens with no low possible. He needed help on the river to survive and he got it, catching the 
for Kings-up. Ed caught the 
for a useless third pair and no low, so he had to settle for just the side pot. He’s playing ~290,000.
Jay scooped the main pot, chipping up to about 80,000.
