R.O.Eight: Lepovic and Firova Chop it up; Dulaney Exits

Written by Kirk | Jul 25, 2025 1:55:38 AM

After several raises preflop in O-8, 4 players saw a flop of 8♠4♥6♦ and Dulaney got his last 1k chip in.

The other players then created a small side pot and went to the turn A♠. Joe Firova, Elan Lepovic, and Jesse Guzman then built up the side pot and went to the 5♥ river. 

The complete action was missed but Firova and Lepovic then got the rest of their chips into the middle and all of the hands were tabled. 

Lepovic tabled A♦2♠9♦7♦ for the high end of the straight while Firova tabled 2♣3♣4♦5♣ for the wheel to take the low while Guzman mucked. Dulaney shook his head as he tabled 8♣8♥5♦2♥ for a flopped set of eights that was no good and he exited the tournament. 

Lepovic - 21k
Firova - 30k
Guzman - 55k
Dulaney - 0
