Level 5

Pot-Limit Omaha

We missed the preflop action but it looked like there was around 15,000 in the pot with the play three-handed on a {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop that was checked around. On the {10-Hearts} turn, Scott Clements led for 11,000 from the small blind and Andrey Zaichenko made it 40,000 from under the gun. Phil Hellmuth folded as the next to act and Clemenets called the raise. When the {4-Hearts} hit the river, Clements quickly fired out 54,000 and Zaichenko went into the tank. Eventually, he made the call and Clements turned over {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for a straight. Zaichenko flipped up {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} for the same hand as the players chopped the huge pot.
