Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
Sam Sexton was in a middle position and raised to 1,500. The hijack reraised to 6,000 and got a fold from the big blind and a call from Sexton.
The flop came 9♥8♥8♣ and Sexton moved all in. The hijack called for all his remaining stack.
Hijack: A♦A♠4♠3♣
Sam Sexton: 6♦5♥4♣2♥
The hijack was ahead on the flop with two pair, but Sexton had some outs.
The turn came the 6♠ and Sexton picked up two pair, with a pair of sixes and the eights on the board, but still needed to improve on the river.
The 7♠ river gave Sexton the straight to steal the pot, and sent the hijack to the rail.
