Gregoire Chipping Up, Rudd Stays Alive
Omaha-8
With around 20,000 chips in the middle before the flop, there were still three players remaining in the hand. The dealer fanned the flop of 
and Brian Jordan checked from the small blind. Matt Gregoire bet in middle position and Ralph Rudd tossed in his last 200 chips from the cutoff. Jordan called to go heads-up with Gregoire on the side pot.
The 
laned on the turn and Jordan check-called another bet from Gregoire. The river was the 
and Jordan checked for the third time. Gregoire fired in another bet and Jordan called. Gregoire flipped over 
for a full house and an eight low. Jordan tabled 
for no high and the same low as Gregoire, who would be awarded three-quarters of the side pot.
Rudd, who was all in, tabled 
for the nut low and would take down half of the main pot to keep his tournament hopes alive.
