Level 3

Pot-Limit Omaha

We caught up with the action on the turn of a {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Spades} board where Alexander Dovzhenko bet the pot for 28,700. John Monnette raised all in and Dovzhenko quickly called as the players turned up their cards.

Dovzhenko: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Monnette: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Both players held the current nuts with a full house, tens full of nines. However since each held an overpair, Dovzhenko could win the hand with an ace on the river while Monnette could do the same with a king. The river was the {6-Diamonds} though and the players chopped it up.

Monnette had around 155,000 after the hand while Dovzhenko was sitting with about 140,000.
