Pot-Limit Omaha

In a four-way limped pot to the 9♥8♣5♠ flop, no betting action took place and the same applied for the J♦ turn. The Q♦ river was checked to Naoya Kihara, who was last to act. He bet 13,000 and Mike Lang folded with just 24,000 behind, as did everyone else involved.

Chris Vitch and John Racener then tangled in a heads-up pot on the Q♣9♥2♠ flop, on which Vitch check-called for 16,000. Vitch checked the 10♥ turn and Racener bet 24,000 only to fold to a shove by Vitch for 60,000.

While that shove went through, table short stack Lang bowed out shortly after.

The flop came 5♥A♥J♥ and Ivey continued with a bet. Mercier and Hansen called again to see the K♥ turn.

Hansen then led out with a bet and Ivey called. Mercier raised, Hansen folded, while Ivey stuck around to see the 5♦ river.

Ivey then bet. "Oh man," Mercier sighed before tossing in the chips to call. Ivey showed him J♠J♣ for a rivered full house and Mercier tossed Q♥Q♣ into the muck.

"That's how you win bracelets. Yep, that's how you win bracelets," Hansen said following the hand.
