Level 4 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Rafael Mota limped in the hijack with two players limping behind him and Erik Seidel checked his option in the big blind.

The flop rolled out A♦9♦8♠ and Seidel bet 2,500 after action checked to him. Mota raised to 10,000 and only Seidel called the bet.

On the turn 4♣, Seidel check-called a bet of 20,000 from Mota.

Both players checked the river Q♣.

"Three eights," said Seidel as he tabled 8♥8♦7♠6♦ for a set of eights. It was no good against Mota's 9♥9♣7♣6♥ for a set of nines and he took down the pot just before break.
