Event 14: Martini Clears 100k, Salman KO's Phillips

Event 14 - $350+$50 Pot Limit Omaha 8B

Two big hands took place back to back.

On Table 2, two of the three big stacks locked horns.  James Martini continued to chip up as 26k pot bet was too much for Robert Wachtel of Atlanta, GA to call on a board of A♦ 7♣ K♥ 8♣ .  The cigar-chomping Wachtel released his hand and Martini showed A♥ 7♣ K♦ 6♣ for two pair and the nut flush draw.  Martini moved to over 100k with the win.

Table 1 saw an elimination hand between Joel Salman of Oceanside, NY and Michael Phillips of New York, NY.  Salman showed A366 against Phillips A44K.  After a flop of JJQ, running 7's showed up preventing a low hand and making Salman's 6's the winning high hand. 

Salman went to 79,900 with the win and cut the field to 32 players.  After 3 more eliminations, the players head to break with 29 left.
