There’s a lot of early action in the final day of the $10,000 World Championship Omaha Hi-Low, and Team PokerStars Pro Alex Kravchenko is on the receiving end.

Within 30 minutes of the final 17 sitting down to battle for the final table, we lost Toto Leonidas, and then Kravchenko in 16th place, cashing for $26,921. He had Aâ™  6♣ 3♣ 4♣ but could not outrun the A♣ J♣ 2♥ 8♥ of Sam Khouiss. Both made a flush, but Khouiss’ had the nuts when the board ran 8♦ K♣ 2♣ 9â™  8♣ .

Things had not been going too well for Daniel Negreanu, either, having to make a big fold with aces in his hand, leaving him perilously short with just 45,000. But he then shot up again to 125,000, just over his day’s starting stack.

Moments later he was up to 170,000, scooping a straight against Kravchenko’s nemesis, Khouiss.
