Too Much for Mota to Fade

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Action was picked up on a flop of JK4. Both players had caught a piece, as Rafael Mota and Artem Maksimov got all in with the latter the covering stack.

Rafael Mota: J984 All in
Artem Maksimov: Q1099

Mota's two pair was ahead, but he had to dodge the world as Maksimov had flopped massive with a wrap and a superior flush draw. The K turn gave Maksimov an extra two outs, and the 10 river improved both to a flush, but Mota was pipped by one to send him packing.
