Frankie O'Dell raised in the hijack and was called by Daniel Rentzer in the cutoff and Amnon Filippi in the big blind.
The flop rolled out 4♦6♦9♥ and Filippi checked over to O'Dell who bet, prompting a call from Rentzer and a raise from Filippi.
"I should've known, you nodded," remarked O'Dell as he and Rentzer both called.
Filippi bet on the J♥ turn and O'Dell asked how much he was playing.
"Not enough to ask," shot back Filippi who showed the 200 in chips he had behind. O'Dell raised and Rentzer called while Filippi called to be all in.
On the 3♠ river, O'Dell bet into the side pot and Rentzer called.
Amnon Filippi: K♠J♣9♠6♠
Daniel Rentzer: A♦K♦K♣5♥
Frankie O'Dell: A♥A♣7♠2♣
O'Dell held a pair of aces for high and the nut low, which was good for him to scoop the entire side, while Filippi's two pair was good for half of the main pot and the two Omaha 8 or Better bracelet winners chopped up Rentzer's chips.
"King, jack, nine, six, three spades," Filippi joked after the hand "Premium hand, don't try this at home."

No fewer than four players were building a pot on a K♥5♣2♠10♥ board, with Sammy Farha first to act. The 2003 Main Event runner-up bet and received calls from John Lewis and Marc Perlman.
On the button, Robert Galdo made it two bets to go, and Farha and the other players called.
"Already the biggest pot I've ever seen!" Thomas Slayday laughed as he watched the action at his table unfold.
The river brought the K♣ and Farha bet. Lewis folded, Perlman called, and Galdo, after raising the turn, folded.
With a smile, Farha rolled over A♣K♦5♥4♣ for kings full of fives and the winner.
"It takes a lot of luck to win with this hand," Farha chuckled.

Four players saw a flop of Q♥8♦7♠ including James Woods in the cutoff, who was the first to bet. Edward Fishman, Jerry Wong, and Robert Keating all came along for a call.
On the 10♥ turn, Woods bet again which got Fishman out of the way. Wong and Keating stuck around for another street. The river 8♣ was followed by three checks.
Woods turned over K♠K♦J♣6♠ for kings up and neither Wong nor Keating could beat that.
