Pot-Limit Omaha

Dario Sammartino checked a {6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop from the big blind, and Andrew Brown bet 16,000 on the button. Sammartino check-raised to 48,000, and Brown called. Sammartino then bet 75,000 on the {2-Spades} turn, and Brown called.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Prahlad Friedman raised to 20,000 from under the gun, and Jared Bleznick three-bet the pot in the big blind, then called off his last 111,000 after Friedman potted it back.

Bleznick's monster hand paid dividends on a {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts} runout for the double.

Klodnicki Three-Bets Flop

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Action was folded to Chris Klodnicki on the button. He limped in and Talal Shakerchi completed his small blind before Mikael Thuritz checked his option from the big blind.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and action checked to Klodnicki, who bet 15,000. Shakerchi folded and Thuritz put in a check-raise to 60,000. Klodnicki thought for a bit and reraised to 190,000. Thuritz sent his hand to the muck rather quickly and Klodnicki took down the pot on the flop.

With what appeared to be about eight big bets already in the middle, Matthew Ashton put out a bet on sixth street, and David Benyamine raised. Ashton took a few moments to contemplate before folding, and the loss puts him dangerously low on chips.
