Pot-Limit Omaha

John Esposito raised to 130,000 from the hijack, Josh Arieh called in the cutoff, and Dan Cates came along in the big blind.

On the {7-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, Cates potted it for 415,000, and Esposito folded. Arieh raised the pot, and Cates called off his last 1.33 million.

Dan Cates: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Josh Arieh: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Both players had flopped flush and straight draws, but Cates had the lead at the time with his pair of sevens, although Arieh was actually a 60/40 favorite to eliminate Cates. The {2-Clubs} turn gave Arieh the nut flush and ended Cates' run before the {7-Spades} could fall on the river.

Esposito Can't Get There

Level 22 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

John Esposito raised to 100,000 from the cutoff, and Josh Arieh three-bet to 225,000 on the button. Bryce Yockey called in the big blind, and Esposito made the call as well.

Action checked through the {8-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop, and the {3-Hearts} fell on the turn. Action checked to Arieh, who bet 375,000. Yockey quickly folded, and Esposito called.

The {3-Diamonds} fell on the river, and Esposito checked. Arieh eventually checked behind, and after Esposito showed his {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a myriad of busted draws and a pair of nines, Arieh showed his {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for trip threes and the winner.
