Ausmus Doubles Through Vieira, Who Then Busts to Blom

Level 4
Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

Pot-Limit Omaha

On a flop of J♥3♠2♠, Joao Vieira led for 15,000 from the big blind, and Jeremy Ausmus called from under the gun after he limp-called Vieira's pot raise preflop, bringing the pot size to around 55,000.

The turn was the K♦ as Vieira potted, Ausmus was all in for 62,000, and Vieira called.

Jeremy Ausmus: J♠J♣7♠7♦ All in
Joao Vieira: A♠A♥J♦5♦

Ausmus flopped a set of jacks but Vieira had a gutter and two aces available. However, the river was the 10♦ and Ausmus doubled.

The next hand, Viktor Blom had opened second-to-act before Joao Vieira potted from the small blind, and Blom called.

On the 8♣7♥5♠ flop, Vieira jammed for his final 54,000 and Blom called.

Joao Vieira: A♥A♦Q♣3♥ All in
Viktor Blom: Q♠Q♦J♠10♦

Vieira was in good shape against the queens and gutter of Blom. The 3♦ turn added no additional outs, but the river was the 9♣, and Blom made his straight to send Vieira to the rail, in what was a reminder in how brutal aces can be in this game.
