Pot-Limit Omaha

Jared Bleznick opened to 15,000 and Daniel Negreanu just called.

"You have about five [hundred]?" asked Bleznick.

"Yeah," said Negreanu. "You've got more. I don't think it's going in this hand."

Negreanu check-called 12,000 on the A♦7♣2♣ flop and the turn 3♦ was checked through.

The river was the A♣ and Negreanu bet 10,000. Bleznick quickly folded.

"Look at this hand," said Negreanu. "This should be a Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo hand!"

He turned over A♥5♣4♣2♥ for a wheel and a full house.

"That's insane," replied Bleznick.
