Pot-Limit Omaha

Josh Arieh raised to 65,000 on his button and Dario Sammartino called from the big blind.

The {3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades} hit the flop and Sammartino checked to Arieh who continued for 75,000. Sammartino check-raised to 190,000 and Arieh called.

Both players checked the {a-Diamonds} turn and the {9-Diamonds} completed the board. Sammartino bet 335,000.

"Wow, you made aces full? Holy s**t," Arieh said, thinking he may have been coolered.
