There's a famous saying that goes, "It ain't over 'til it's over," and in the game of PLO, that couldn't be any more true.

The flop read {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Spades} with 40,000 in the pot, and the action was complete, waiting for the turn card. That card was the {4-Clubs}, and suddenly, the pot got inflated. After a series of bets and raises, Ludovic Lacay was all in for 178,000 with {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Spades} against Shankar Pillai, who held {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

Pillai was ahead with a set of aces, but Lacay was the one who looked more excited, with so much potential to make the best hand. The river brought the {8-Clubs}, and Lacay gave a fist pump as he hit the nut flush to scoop a monster pot.
