Pot-Limit Omaha

Action was joined on the {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop with 345,000 already in the pot. Michael Cox led out for 200,000. Sandeep Pulusani, in the cutoff, made the call while Joseph DiPiscales folded from the big blind.

The pair checked the {2-Spades} turn leading to the {j-Diamonds} river. Cox announced a pot sized bet. While counting out his stack, Pulusani announced he was all in, but the count revealed that Cox had only 675,000 remaining, less than the pot, and he was already all in. Pulusani could do nothing but call, and it was showdown time.

Michael Cox: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Sandeep Pulusani: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Cox's aces were no good against Pulusani's full house, tens full of twos. Pulusani scooped the pot to enter the chip lead picture, while Cox was sent to the rail.
