Sands Sacks Weisner With Flush On River

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

David Sands raised to 3,700 before the flop from early position and Melanie Weisner three-bet the pot, making it 11,900 to go. After a bit of confusion over the size of the initial pot, which was cleared up by a third player who stated "In Pot-Limit Omaha, the players are always right when it comes to chip counts." After the correct calculations were made, Sands called and the pot swelled to 23,800 total.

Flop: {10-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

Weisner continued her aggressive line and slid 20,000 into the middle, but was unhappy to hear Sands announce "Pot...all-in." She appeared to know this meant trouble but made the call with her {2-Spades}{A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a pair of aces. Sands revealed the {Q-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for top pair on board and an ace kicker.

Weisner was ahead at the moment but in Omaha, the next card can change everything. The turn fell {2-Diamonds} and Sands picked up a flush draw, meaning he could now spike any diamond, king, queen, jack or seven to claim the pot.

River: {7-Diamonds}

The dealer delivered on both accounts, completing Sand's flush and giving him the huge pot. He now sits with just under 100,000 while Weisner was eliminated from the tournament.
