Ensan Takes Multi-Way Pot

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Five players saw a flop of {7-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. Action checked to the hijack who bet 3,200, and only Hossein Ensan in the cutoff called. The hijack player checked the {10-Clubs} turn and Ensan flicked in a purple 5,000 chip. His opponent called.

The river came the {a-Diamonds}, and again Ensan's opponent checked over to him. This time, Ensan assembled a bet of 13,100. The hijack went into the tank for about two minutes before eventually folding as the 2019 Main Event champ raked in the pot.
