Big O

Action was picked up on a flop of K♠J♥7♠ With 132,000 in the middle, Chris Lee and George Wang were heads up from the big blind and cutoff respectively.

Lee checked his option, and Wang bet out for 100,000. Lee took his time, before announcing "pot," and placing out a bet of 432,000. Wang went deep into the tank, and apologised to his tablemates explaining that he was thinking. Eventually, he tabled K♥J♦ and mucked his hand.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Head-to-head against David "Cowboy Keith" Yarbrough, with both players already in for a little over 100,000, Brandon Cantu bet the pot on the turn of a A♣J♦4♣9♠ board.

Yarbrough quickly called.

When the 6♠ hit the felt on the river, Cantu didn't hesitate to fire again, calling out, "Pot."

This time, Yarbrough pondered the call for some time.

Eventually, he let the hand go, and watched helplessly as more than half his stack was dragged to the other end of the table.

Banducci found an ace-high flush the runout of 7♣5♠10♠J♠5♣, and the low didn't make it.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Vadim Shlez opened the action from early position, with a raise to 35,000. Ilia Krupin flatted from late position, before Marcelo Costa then jammed for 56,000 from the big. Shlez announced "pot," only to realise that Costa had under-raised. Him and Krupin both called.

On a flop of J♣A♥2♥ Shlez potted to 170,000. Krupin jammed 240,000 and Shlez snapped it off.

Marcelo Costa: A♣K♣K♥3♦ All in
Ilia Krupin: A♦J♥8♥4♦ All in
Vadim Shlez: A♠J♦9♣7♠

The 10♦10♠ runout offered no help to Costa, as his two opponents split the pot with top two.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

On a board reading 3♠3♥3♦, James Woods found himself at risk for 63,000 up against Davis Aalvik who had jammed to isolate the pot after multiple players saw the flop.

James Woods: Q♣7♠4♥3♣ All in
Davis Aalvik: 8♥5♠5♣4♣

Woods had flopped quad threes and found himself locking up the pot on the turn 10♣ before the river 6♠ even peeled off. After being down to under 30,000 just a few hands ago, Woods has now found himself spinning back up the chip counts.
