Pot-Limit Omaha
Phil Ivey raised the button to 210,000 and was called by Kristopher Tong in the big blind only. On the A♣8♠3♥ flop, Tong check-called for 200,000 before they checked down the 7♣ turn and 7♥ river. "Nothing, queen-high," Tong mentioned and Ivey won the pot with the K♦K♠K♥Q♥.
Benny Glaser then made it 180,000 to go in the hijack for Josh Arieh to call on the button. They checked the K♠9♦6♥ flop to the 5♣ turn. Glaser check-called a bet of 375,000. Once Glaser checked the K♦ river, Arieh inquired "you checked?" and then checked behind after which he couldn't beat the A♣A♥Q♥9♣ of Glaser.
Last but not least, Glaser limped in and called Tong's pot-sized raise to 270,000 on the button. The 10♥9♣2♠ flop went check, check. Glaser bet the 7♠ turn for 430,000 to pick up a call and then bet the 8♥ river for 1,125,000 into a pot of 1.5 million. Tong folded and had to surrender the chip lead to Glaser in the last hand of the level.
