Kitai Rivers Broadway

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Action picked up on a flop reading {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades} with a player having bet 4,000, another player having called that, and Kitai putting in a raise to 8,000. The initial better went all-in prompting a fold from the caller and a snap-call from Kitai. "I have a monster," said Kitai before revealing his hand.

Opponent: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Davidi Kitai: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

They both shared the same two pair but Kitai had the flush draw as well as an open ended straight draw. The turn {q-Spades} did not change anything other than giving both players a higher two pair, but the river {a-Spades} gave Kitai the broadway straight, which was good for the pot and he eliminated a player.

Kenny Hallaert: {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

Hallaert had two pair with a straight draw, but his opponent had a flush draw and counterfeit outs. The river {4-Hearts} was none of those however and Hallaert scooped the pot to put his stack up to 131,000.

Deshaine Scoops A Monster

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Pot Limit Omaha

Action was picked up with cards on their backs, in a three way all-in between Jacob Deshaine and two shorter stacks.

Shortest stack: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Larger stack: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Jacob Deshaine: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The flop of {9-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} gave Deshaine and the shortest stack both flush draws, but the turn {9-Spades} gave the shortest stack three nines, leaving the second largest stack drawing dead to scoop. The river {q-Hearts} gave Deshaine the ace high flush which was good for the scoop of both players and Deshaine saw his stack grow to nearly triple the starting stack.
