Pot-Limit Omaha

With approximately 400,000 in the pot on a river board of {8-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, Bryce Yockey checked from the big blind to Naoya Kihara, who put out a tower of green chips equal to 400,000.

Yockey went into the tank for a couple of minutes before spiking a tower of his own in front of himself to signify a call.

Kihara showed {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{3-Hearts} for a full house of aces over eights to take down the 1,000,000+ chip pot.
