You Can't Win if You Don't See a Flop

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nick Schulman
Nick Schulman

Pot-Limit Omaha

Biao Ding limped under the gun, and on his left, Joao Simao potted to 14,000. In the small blind, Nick Schulman repotted to 48,000. Ding would then cold-call with 135,000 behind, and Simao called with 130,000 behind.

On the K93 flop, Schulman led all-in for 105,000, Ding called, and Simao folded.

Nick Schulman: AK86 All in
Biao Ding: 8763

Schulman held top pair and the dominating flush draw while Ding had bottom pair. The 5 turn gave Ding a full wrap, but the river was the 2, and the lone pair of kings was enough for the win as Schulman doubled.
