Event 5: Freddie's a Nightmare

PLO ($300 + $50, 1 re-entry)

Freddie Rouhani (Gaithersburg, MD) is a Borgata regular with a WSOP Bracelet (2008, Omaha/Stud H/L) and more than $1.6 million in career earnings. Today he shows why he's a contender in the PLO as he knocks out two players on one hand.

On a board of K♣ 3 4♠, Rouhani puts Phil Sheppard (Queens, NY) and George Gillis (Glen Burnie, MD) all-in.

Rouhani tables Q 4 5 3♣ for a flopped two pairs (threes and fours).

The final board is K♣ 3 4♠ Q Q♣ and Rouhani wins it with a full house queens full of fours.

"Sometimes you have to get lucky," says Rouhani, "but what can I say, I flopped two pair."

After the hand the table breaks and 34 players remain. Rouhani is now to the right of Chris Reslock (Atlantic City, NJ), who is also a WSOP Bracelet holder (2007, Stud).

Rouhani is one of the larger stacks with 34k, while Reslock has 21k.
