Pot-Limit Omaha

Jeff Madsen just got through doubling through Aaron Kupin before Kupin tangled with Bariscan Betil.

Betil raised to 225,000 in the hijack and Kupin called in the cutoff. The rest of Betil's stack of around 600,000 got in on the flop of 6♥J♠K♦.

Bariscan Betil: A♣K♣Q♦6♣ All in
Aaron Kupin: K♥J♥10♠9♠

Kupin had top two pair to be in front of the top and middle pair of Betil. The dealer put down the 6♦ turn and Kupin slammed a chip on the table in frustration as Betil improved to a full house.

The dealer then put down the J♦ river and Kupin immediately regained his composure as he improved to the better full house to send Betil out in sixth place.
