Klodnicki Grabs the Chip Lead in Crazy PLO Hand

Pot-Limit Omaha

John Hennigan raised to 22,000 from the cutoff after which Chris Klodnicki three-bet from the button to 65,000. So far nothing special, and Hennigan just made the call.

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Hennigan check-called a big 120,000 chip bet. The turn was the {5-Spades} bringing out another flush draw, and Hennigan checked once more. Klodnicki now fired out a massive 385,000 and Hennigan called again.

The river was the {4-Hearts} and with over a million chips in the pot both players decided to check.

Klodnicki showed {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, and had just a pair of fours. Hennigan mucked his cards and the table was stunned by what just happened in this massive pot. Klodnicki grabs the chip lead while Hennigan is knocked far down.
