Margulies Hits One-Outer to Score Huge Pot

Level 7

Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better

David Margulies just alerted the PokerNews team to a hand that's seen him acquire one of the bigger stacks in the room.

As told by Margulies, on a flop of {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, he bet 2,200 into two opponents and was called in both spots.

On a board-pairing {7-Diamonds} turn, he bet 6,100 and was called by only one opponent.

Margulies continued firing on the {5-Diamonds} river, betting the pot, and he was met with a re-pot by his opponent who was all in for approximately 30,000.

Margulies called and tabled {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, while his opponent showed {a-}{a-}{j-}{5-}.

Margulies had been out-flopped set over set, but drilled quads on the turn, and along with his live deuce, scooped the huge pot.

Kihara Busts an Opponent

Level 8

Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better

On a flop of {q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, Naoya Kihara checked out of position to his opponent who bet 2,000. Kihara then check-raised the size of the pot and his opponent moved all in for less.

Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Naoya Kihara: {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}

Kihara was ahead for the high with his set of threes versus his opponent's top and bottom pair with a wheel draw.

The turn {10-Spades} and river {k-Hearts}, couldn't bring in a low, and Kihara's set held on for the win.
