Mike Wattel

Pot-Limit Omaha

Elior Sion raised from the cutoff, making it 32,000 to play. Mike Wattel called on the button, and Jake Abdalla called from the big blind.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, and Abdalla checked over to Sion. Sion bet 68,000. Wattel potted it, making it 306,000 to play. Abdalla thought for about a minute, then folded his hand.

"How much do you have behind?" Sion asked Wattel, who moved his hand to show. It was a little bit over 700,000. Sion finally decided to move all in, and Wattel called instantly.

"Set of queens, right?" Sion asked. He was right. Wattel showed {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Sion was holding {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for flush and straight draws.

Sion didn't catch up on the {3-Diamonds} turn or the {J-Spades} river. Wattel earned the massive double-up with that huge pot, while Sion was left with crumbs.
